The accompanying document, signed by Maile Lenore, dated 21st June, 1995, states that she met Elvis whilst he was filming Blue Hawaii in Honolulu in March, 1961.....I asked Elvis if my girlfriend could take a snapshot of me and Elvis....I told [him] he looked like a local in his aloha shirt and cap. He clowned around and put his cap on my head and said it looked so good, "you can keep it dear...I got another one in my room"...I asked him if he would sign the hat he had given me..., 1p.
