In 1985 Bob Hope was in Monroe, Louisiana for a event in Ruston. His pilots used our FBO for refueling and parking that night. Mr. Hope had left for his performance and the pilots were sitting on the steps of the aircraft drinking a Scotch. I asked the captain what the real Bob Hope is like. The answer was “the man you see on the stage is the real deal and that is Mr. Hope.” He also added, “and Mr. Hope knows we are here drinking his Scotch.”

Nice story. Thanks for relating.

It sounds like you need a “Thank you for your service”.
