Thanks for the memories.

Have to get in my own goodbye to the ever funny Bob Hope. Found some great links in all of the stories. Particularly on the official Bob Hope site itself. There's a link to the new Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment at the Library of Congress, I think, that's got some incredible American history to browse through.

The web site is a comprehensive look at the history of 20th entertainment through the souvenirs, papers and memorabilia he and his wife donated. The page on vaudeville was fascinating. I'll have to go back and make some more specific links and comments. Lots to see, and some amazing old graphics. Very well done.

Glad he made it to 100 though. Very classy touch. What a lucky fellow.

The New York Times has a nice special section on him.
