I had the opportunity to see Bob Hope and cast including Raquel Welch in 1967 and again in 1968 when he had Ann Margaret in the show.
The photo I took in 1968 shows Bob Hope arriving and being greeted by the base commander. The second photo is of Ann Margaret performing. I took the original photos on slide film. Sorry for the poor quality.

We saw him a long time ago here in NY. I was surprised at how short he was.
But he had a tall shadow!

A wonderful look at Bob Hope entertaining the troops during his many Christmas performances. Thank You to every Veteran that had a Christmas away from home and to Bob Hope for sharing his Christmas with the troops.
Bob was one of a kind.

Saw him in Vietnam. Fell in love… was it Joey Heatherton or Ann Margaret… can’t remember so maybe it was just lust.

He's #1 in my book. When my wife was a flight attendant back in the 60's and 70's, she had Bob Hope on a flight from Boston to LA. Being senior attendant, she worked first class and he asked her if he could give the flight a free Bob Hope style talk show. She got permission from the captain and he did a two hour discussion show with all the passengers. She couldn't wait to get home and tell me what happened. It was the talk of her base.

I remember watching and enjoying those Bob Hope Specials as a kid. That's when comedy was funny.
