On his death bed they asked him where he wanted to be

Do you remember Bob Hope? You'll enjoy this.
I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and also didn't
realize it has been over 10 years since he died.
Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show. He
touched a lot of lives during his life.
Thought you might enjoy a bit of memory touching.
Enjoy and recall a neat comedian.

A WONDERFUL E-MAIL.
I HOPE THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND IN
YOUR HEART.
This is a tribute to a man who DID make a difference.
