THE HOBBY OF "THE KING"

  According to a January 3, 2003 Associated Press article,
  one man says Elvis alive and collecting old coins. Here are
  some excerpts - follow the link for the full article.

  "Bill Beeny's roadside ''Elvis Is Alive'' museum serves up
  plenty for folks with suspicious minds over whether Elvis
  really ever left the building.

  Barely bigger than a living room, the place about 40 miles
  west of St. Louis is a conspiracy theorist's dream, from its
  government documents to the pathology reports, DNA testing
  results and photos, including one that purports to show Elvis
  shadowing Muhammad Ali in 1984."

  Beeny insists Elvis has surfaced in recent years--not at a
  Kalamazoo, Mich., Burger King or as a Miami undercover
  cop, as legend would have it, but as an arthritis sufferer who
  in 1997 sought treatment from Dr. Donald W. Hinton, a
  Kansas City, Mo., psychiatrist.

  Supposedly with Elvis' help, Hinton co-wrote "The Truth
  About Elvis Aron Presley, In His Own Words." Published
  last year, the book chronicles the years since the King's
  ''death,'' saying it took Elvis three years to get clean and
  sober.

  Hinton says the King--now his pal--collects old coins and
  American Indian artifacts, and isn't too shabby with fishing
  gear.
