Elvis and ducks...there must be a link after all! On august 16, Priscilla Presley will be at the induction of Elvis in the 'Duck Walk Hall Of Fame'. The Peabody Hotel in the heart of Downtown Memphis is well known for his ducks that live in a penthouse and are coming down each morning to swim in the fountain in the lobby. Since 1996, there is the 'Duck Walk Hall Of Fame' on the sidewalk outside the hotel where people who played an important role in the development of Memphis are honoured. In this list are mainly - for us - unknown names as Jack Belz, Henry Turley, Danny Thomas, Mayor Willie Herenton and Kevin Kane. The ceremony will be held in the lobby, but is invitation only. The tile, with the footprints of a duck, will be placed in the sidewalk a few weeks after august 16.
