Bob Hope thanks Sports editor for hospitality
Back in the early years of the Senior Bowl, Bob Hope visited Mobile and attended the game.
Afterward he sent this publicity photo to the Press Register's sports editor as a thank you for his hospitality.
For many years this photo hung on a wall in the Sports Department of the Government Street building. During the early 1990s, a new management started knocking down walls and the photo was tossed into a dumpster, from which I rescued it.
