I didn’t know Johnny Grant had died! Who is now the honorary Mayor of Hollywood?

True enough! :)

and yes, I did see Travolta’s bizarre hairpiece. Why doesn’t he give it up!?

I remember reading something about that but it makes no sense to me. I thought Prospect Studios was going to move to Universal - where is all the room coming from?

Yeah.. it would have been.. oh I guess around 1994 or 1995. I had my convention and he was there for something totally unrelated. I don’t know what his was or for whom or what he was speaking.

Another time one of our members ran up to me to say “I just shook the hand of the next president!” He was referring to Bob Dole and I didn’t have the heart to correct him. ahem.

Hollywood shows their patriotism by getting some troops to do the awards.

Bet they weren’t paid.

BurbankKarl was telling us about their new digs not long ago

How neat, to have servicemen and women involved live. (I hope it’s live?)
