I have read a few books and enough articles in my life to form my own opinion...here is a long long list of comments and resources from people who worked with him and with his family:

I'll forward some truth about Bing when I get time. I've heard this crap for years.

And Spokane just named a theatre after him. His family left T-town for Spokesvegas when he was three. But I'm gonna see what I can do to get a statue of him put in Tacoma.

You choose to believe the worst, when ALL EVIDENCE points to the son lying thru his alcohol soaked brain. But believe as you wish.

Facts about Bing Crosby

When Bing Crosby does push ups, he doesnt push himself up. He pushes the earth down.

Its a known fact that the tears of Bing Crosby can cure cancer. Unfortunately, Bing has never cried in his life.

Wait a minute, those are Chuck Norris facts.

Looks like another unbeaten WCC season for them. They may be better than last year.

My USF Dons don't look so good in the early going.

Timely post. As I was flipping the channels last night, ended up stopping on a movie called "On the Town" with Gene Kelly & Frank Sinatra. Kelly's love interest was "Miss Turnstile, Ivy Smith." Ivy was played by Vera-Ellen

They don't make em like they used to. WoW!

Clearly Peter Faulk was a better choice as Columbo. IMHO!
