There was never a dull moment in the Tolefree house-hold with Elvis. He was a strong little boy, and you could never win a fight with him, and that includes his older siblings. His mom's friends soon started giving him and his brother Larry to wrestle, and they would put on a show while everyone near and far would gather and watch. Elvis began his career as a firefighter with the Kansas City Fire Dept. right after he graduated.
