Description
An account of the resource
<p>In the mid-2010s, the Bob and Dolores Hope Foundation and the World Golf Hall of Fame created an exhibit, “Shanks for the Memory.” The collection spans Hope’s whole career from his beginnings in Vaudeville to his movies and Christmas Shows. Hope’s USO shows started on May 6, 1941 at March Field Base and from there on he traveled during World War II to encourage and preform for the troops. He authored, <em>I Never Left Home,</em> about his experiences in World War II.</p>
