Thank you...so much! (Updated)

My favorite Brother-In-Law sent this to me.


Heck, I don't know if the entire CTRL-C/CTRL-V deal will work or not.  We will CTRL-SEE.  Update:  The CTRL-C/V  dealie didn't work.  Maybe now you can see the pictures...


This was pretty cool.


Editorial note:  I put a The YouTube video underneath this of Bob & Shirley Ross singing.  Heck, I don't know if this is gonna work or not.  What a helluva American!




I HOPE THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR HEART.

  3. Bob Hope was one of my earliest heroes, for obvious reasons. But I was never in the same place at the same time for one of his USO shows. More's the pity.

  5. I loved him first because Daddy loved him. Then I loved him for who he was and he became one of my favorite actors.
