It's a small world

Linda sent me this message after she saw my post on the Bob Hope house:

"Bob Hope’s childhood home was two blocks from my Aunt’s in Eltham, London!   We would walk by it every day we went to the train.  There is a small plaque in front of the house showing it’s history.   My Aunt said he visited when the plaque was installed, many years ago.  She’s long gone and we haven’t been back in many years."



He liked to come to Victoria to play golf since everyone left him alone. We ended up sitting across from him in the Victoria Airport once.  No one came up to him. We all just let him enjoy being an ordinary person. That probably didn’t happen very much.
