Great stuff, fellers. A nice additon to the thread.
Another favorite story from Roy’s book that sticks out in my mind: Many times he had his friend and co-star Gabby Hayes over for dinner. At one of these dinners, the kids were acting up as usual. Arguing, fighting, talking loudly, even throwing food at each other. In the middle of all this melee, Roy noticed Gabby had tears in his eyes. Roy asked him, “Pappy, what’s the matter?”. And Gabby (a long time married man, but childless) answered, “Roy, you just don’t know how lucky you are.”
