C L A U D E Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I am always stunned by the cheap décor for the first photo, that thing hanging from the ceiling that is lopsided, those tablecloths that don't fit right, sheesh! But Lucy looks terrific in later years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 While recuperating from a World War II injury, Marine Sgt. Lawrence W. Eddy from Jamestown met Lucille Ball in the naval hospital in Corona, California. In 1944, when Ball attend Grandpa Fred Charles Hunt's funeral in Jamestown, she decided to invite Eddy as her escort to various fundraisers. She sold war bonds at civic clubs, churches, the furniture expo trade show, the rally in the high school gym, and amazingly raised $8,000 in one appearance at the Merlin Rockwell Company. In this rare photograph , the pair took a break in the Hotel Jamestown coffee shop. Eddy, who now lives in Vancouver, Washington, has fond memories of that experience. After the funeral, Ball left for Philadelphia to sell war bonds. Throughout her life, Ball made generous donations to numerous Jamestown organizations." -from the book: "Jamestown" by Kathleen Crocker and Jane Currie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Lucy was forever doing things like that. Check Lee Tannen's book description of only one Bob Hope taping and what happened at her hotel when she stayed there, bombarded with requests for pictures, phone calls etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
