Watching reruns with my mom.
I think my first exposure to Hope would have been watching his movies on black-&-white TV with my family (yes, I’m that old). We really enjoyed them too. Thanks
LOL! I hear you 🙂
Watching his movie “Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number!” I saw once many years ago and then wondered for a very long time what it was. All I could remember was Bob Hope! Finally I found the movie again. I still love it!
Watching Bob Hope entertaining the troops is my 1st memory of Mr. Hope. My mom always had us watching him when he was on tv cause she said he was the only good entertainment on television.
