Rescued Chilean miner and Elvis Presley fan Edison Pena
has an invitation to Graceland, the music icon's longtime home
in Memphis.
Pena, who is 34 and married, was pulled from the collapsed
mine today.
After hearing that Pena was an Elvis fan, Elvis Presley
Enterprises sent various gifts down to Chile, including CDs,
DVDs, sunglasses and a book.
Now that Pena has been freed, he has been invited to visit
the estate where Elvis lived for 20 years before he died on
August 16, 1977.
Kern says he does not expect an answer to the invitation any
time soon, saying there are more important things Pena needs
to take care of.
