On a side note I read where Cheetah, the Chimp from the Johnny Wisemuller (sp?) Tarzan films turned 71 years old recently........ I read this in Outdoor Life Hunting Magazine.......the old ape is (was) Bob Hopes next door neighbor..........the only link I can find was this blog thang below from 96........old ass monkey !!

Stay Safe !

Speaking of beer ... I'm looking at a newspaper clipping that says that Cheetah, the chimp pal of Johnny Weissmuller, Lex Barker, and Ron Ely is still alive and is 64 years old. His owner, Dan Westfall, who lives in Palm Springs, California, says he feeds Cheetah 11 pints of beer a day. "And once a month, as long as he behaves himself, I give him a few bottles of schnapps." This chimp isn't alive, he's just preserved. But if it's British beer, then Cheetah needs a friend. Anyone have a large chimp suit I could borrow?

Maybe Westfall was the "monkey's uncle"!
