Yes, those of us who were around fondly remember Hope. I do not know of
many stars visiting military bases - I can still remember the names of all
members of the Rat Pack, can name many movie stars from the 50s and 60. I
know the names of under ten of the present bay crowd...

We need a Bob Hope today - more nostalgia
*Alan Alda first saw Bob Hope in WWII. Until the day he died his Dad
never ever missed a Bob Hope special. Alan remembered him laughing and
crying at every show but he never understood why. Now he knows.*
*A little travel back in time.**Warning. This might make your eyes wet!**Those
were the days…..jokes were funny, not crude* *.......and the girls were
dressed to make them look pretty, not vulgar...**This is some priceless
footage...It makes me thankful that I am old enough to have lived in the
time of Bob Hope.*
