CBS News Dear Bob : Bob Hope s correspondence with GIs at war
In the 1940s, Bob Hope was already one of America s brightest stars. But to Linda Hope, he was just Dad. So, what was it like to have Bob Hope as a dad? Well, pretty spectacular, I have to say, she said. It was never dull! But he was always on the go. I mean, that s what I remember most of all.
