No, no offence re the article you mentioned concerning Mrs L. - t...hats to be expected from these unreliable columnists & reporters - after so many years I'm immune. Do'nt bother to send the article Bill, its of no interest to me…Naturally I heard about Hoot Gibson - the last time I saw him he was on his honeymoon with Sally Eilers we were on the same ship bound for Hawaii, we became quite friendly on that voyage, but never met either of them since…The old Jack Paar show has still been running since he left, a different Host every week, its been interesting seeing a new personality every week in charge, there have been about I8 names so far - this week is Red Buttons - this formula continues till Johnny Carson takes over permanently in October…" Laurel then answers various questions about Alan Ladd, the Laurel & Hardy cartoon series and W.C.
