He was a wonderful, wonderful entertainer and a pretty good golfer
too. I caught the 100th Birthday Special when it aired on TV. Good
stuff.

Tod, Bob Hope's family moved to America in 1907, when he was four.
He's been an American citizen Tod since probably before you
grandparents were born.
Bob Hope was around for a LONG time. My grandmother used to talk about
loving to listen to the Bob Hope show on the radio in the thirties,
during the Great Depression, when you needed all the laughter you could
find.
Bob Hope was THE greatest AMERICAN entertainer of the last century, the
quintessential AMERICAN star. RIP

tod, so Bob Hope was born at the turn of the century too, making him as
old or about as old as your grandparents. Either way why did you point
out that he wasn't born an american? considering how long he has been
an american, and is in fact the only non-military person ever named an
honorary american veteran of the armed forces, there was no point to
your bringing that up. Hope was as american as you are

he probably had more effect on more presidents than any other individual in
this country, adn he never abused it.
