The guy in the pic on the lawn with Elvis and Judy is, as already mentione by Mississippi above, GENE SMITH.
The pic was in the MPS on May 4 and the caption read among others:
At left is Gene Smith, his cousin, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Ed Smith, 789 Kerr. Gene helps keep Elvis' wardrobe in order, takes care of odd jobs, travel details, etc.
When Judy learned that the pic was in the Memphis paper she flew to Memphis to get a copy of the photo.

Apparently Elvis was only able to sing about 5 songs,(people were screaming so much that noone could hear them anyway). Then the crowd stampeded towards the stage & the security people decided to end it. Many fans were very disappointed. That was the only time that he appeared in Vancouver, Canada...to my recollection. He wore his gold lame jacket & gold shoes that night. The same thing happened when Ricky Nelson appeared in concert here. He left nervously & hastely & never returned again. The crowds were too frightening. I've always regreted that I was never able to see either of them in person.
