Bob Hope honored on new postage stamp (AP)
Bob Hope is being honored with a 44-cent postage stamp Friday in ceremonies aboard the USS Midway in San Diego.
"I think that he would be thrilled, absolutely honored and love the thought of it," his daughter Linda Hope said in a telephone interview.
"It would also be an opportunity for him to get in a few jokes about the rise in the cost of postage," she added, recalling a comment he once made about people chipping in to buy a stamp to send in a complaining letter.
Hope made two appearances aboard the Midway in a career launched in the 1930s and including military shows from World War II to the Persian Gulf. He died in 2003 at age 100. His widow, Dolores Hope, celebrated her 100th birthday Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
