Kenpo in Pasadena, 1950s

[bushidomartialarts]

Question for all the Kenpo historians in these parts.

I've heard all manner of tales about Mr. Parker working with other famous and/or skilled martial artists during his time in Pasadena. Can people name a few examples of these people and speak to how they may have contributed to the art?

When did Parker begin training Elvis? I want the book, but haven't been able to get my hands on it yet. Wasn't there a scandle involved with the black gi, when it comes to his divorce? Only rummors, I don't know the story, does anyone else?
