[BITList] Bob Hope in Heaven

[FA]

This man gives us a lesson in humility, acceptance and fun in life.

Learn from him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had forgotten that he had lived to be 100 and also didn't realize it 
has been 10 years since he died.

Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his shows. Touched a lot of lives 
during his life.

Thought you might enjoy going down memory lane, so sent it along to you.

Enjoy and recall a neat comedian.
