“I have a wonderful make-up crew.  They’re the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.”   —   Bob Hope

(Even though he was born in London, England . . . who was more American than Bob Hope?!?!  He made 57 tours for the USO, entertaining American troops, over the years.  His family came through Ellis Island when he was 5 years old.  He hosted the Oscars 19 times!  He starred in numerous movies and television specials.  And he was invited to the White House on numerous occasions.  He lived a few months past his 100th birthday!  A great American.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I grew up with six brothers.  That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.”   —   Bob Hope

(It’s been a while since we’ve had a Bob Hope quote!  I saw him just recently in the ABC\ESPN – part 1 – documentary on O.J. Simpson, on Saturday.  He was such a constant for a big part of my life.  Great deadpan humor!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(I love Old Ski Nose, and I have a certain appreciation for the sport, but when it comes to the subject of golf I generally side more with Mark Twain and George Carlin!) — YUR
