Didn't I read somewhere that congress had passed a bill declaring him a "Veteran"?

Yes. I believe Bob is the only person so honored.

I listened on the radio in the '30's to Fibber McGee and Molly, Bob Hope, and Red Skelton. I can say to carlo3b that I envy you your experiences; Bob Hope was far and away my family's favorite.

Ours as well, listening to those old corny radio programs was the warmest memories of my youth. It seems that our imagination stirred up great pictures and they were so much better than most of the images on TV. What was Gangbusters, and the Green Hornet, if not pure imagination!
