Check with the local post office to see if they have it.<br /><br />I too loved watching Hope.<br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-27297746902811867652009-06-20T12:04:37.841-05:002009-06-20T12:04:37.841-05:00You're very welcome, Steven, and thanks again ...You're very welcome, Steven, and thanks again to Dianna for refreshing my memory banks on this one.<br /><br />You know what my first thought was upon viewing this? I kept looking for scratch marks on the tabletop! Is that hilarious, or what?<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it.

You...What a special memory for you to have, Craig. You would have towered over him!<br /><br />Chuck, I wonder if you've had a chance to check out Aaron Wilbur's clips from my post "Stuff from others" ... his sense of timing - although different - is every bit as good as Bob Hope's was, I think. In particular, be sure to click on the go "here" in my next to last paragraph so you can view that one. It's hilarious!<br /><br />(Btw, I've seen Aaron's last name spelled as "Wilbur" "Wilburr" and "Wilburn". Wild!)<br /><br />Another entertainer that I miss, but never really appreciated until just a couple of years before he died, is Sammy Davis, Jr.<br /><br />Bob Hope's USO tours (and how many did he do, anyway?) were ALL wonderful. Another comedian who I thought had a terrific sense of timing was George Burns. And, I seem to recall hearing that George and Bob often played bridge together.Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-11814442899494087322009-06-19T16:44:22.534-05:002009-06-19T16:44:22.534-05:00And Hope was a decent singer and one of the greate...And Hope was a decent singer and one of the greatest comedians -- especially on his USO tours.<br /><br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

A great thrill to meet.<br /><br />And James Cagney excellent. These people were true entertainers.Craig Peihopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133732737732225587noreply@blogger.com
