By MATTHEW M. BURKE | STARS AND STRIPES Published: February 22, 2021 CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa If the namesake of the new Bob Hope Elementary School, opening soon at Kadena Air Base, were alive today, he might say that Bing Crosby will want his name on a high school. The school is still under construction and no ribbon-cutting is set, but Department of Defense Education Activity’s Pacific South school district recently announced it’s opening Bob Hope Elementary come the 2021-22 school year. It is the latest 21st century school on Okinawa, DODEA said Wednesday. Hope, an actor and droll comedian, played off his co-star, the equally blithe crooner Bing Crosby, in seven “road” pictures, starting with “The Road to Singapore” in 1947. Hope also undertook 57 USO tours, entertaining troops in conflict zones from World War II to the Persian Gulf War, according to the USO. He died in 2003.
