A co-worker of mine was once a bellboy at a nice hotel...back in the early 1980s.
Said Hope gave him a $50 tip for carrying the luggage. Pretty big tip.
My college roommate was from Jupiter, FL and had a summer waitress job. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby came in for breakfast once and left her a large tip. They were headed out to play golf.
Mr. GG2 is from CA. He and his dad used to do work on the Hope’s house. He said Dolores Hope was the nicest person in the world. Always bringing them snacks and drinks. Bob would stick his head around the door and say hi but was always real busy. Linda Gray was one of the Hope’s neighbors. She came over one day to show off her new Mustang and took Mr. GG2 for a ride.
