A new book featuring a mention about Bing is coming out - it deals with high profile Catholics. It sounds very interesting...

Thanks Lobosco, very interesting reading. Nice one on Bob too.
Bob did a year in Australia doing a variety programme for Channel 7.
Not sure of the year.

Bob Crosby hosted a 'tonight' type TV show for channels ATN7 (Sydney) and HSV7 (Melbourne) each week for a couple of months in 1966. Its early demise due to poor ratings was attributed by one commentator to poor production rather than a weakness on Bob's part. He had appeared on Australian TV a few years earlier.

I think Bob was treated badly as well.
I tried to write to him. I wrote a letter and put it in an envelope with a US dollar note to the San Francisco paper asking them to put an address and stamp on the letter. It was returned.
Then I wrote to the Los Angeles time and did the same. Same result. I got mad then and wrote back to the Times saying that if anything happened to Bob they would soon know where to go. Of course I received no response from that.
