I knew it was him cause he lived up the road around Dawson Springs, Kentucky and was the only guy I knew around here named Elvis Orten (yes his name really was Elvis) who loved comics. He was just from around here, just the dumb luck of where my parents decided to raise a family. Almost forgot, we even went to the same High School (though he graduated quite a few years before I did).
He was always a great guy. Could make friends with anyone he met. Hell my dad even asks me from time to time if I've heard from him lately. Sadly I cannot say that I even know where he is these days, he up and fell off the face of the Earth (though like his more famous namesake, there are "sightings" you hear from other folks who know him in the area)
I am pretty sure Melissa Page lived around this area too. Her letters were always addressed from Nortonville (I think?) which is about 20-25 miles from my hometown. She must've gotten comics closer to her home because I never met her (or knew it was her if I had).
