Bob the scrapper

Bob is a scrapper......I don't mean he likes to fight....He has been keeping copious records of people he knows since the mid- forties and preserving them in scrapbook form.

I'm sure the methods have changed as certain essentials were invented over the years ..like glue and color photography.

I stopped in the other day and asked him to show me a book or two. We plopped one down on his table near his poolside bar. Thats the area you will find him on any given Sunday, dressed in his signature "slingshot"...that is if he is dressed at all. Thats why they call him Naked Gun

The books are filled with everything associated with his life. Friends and family....one family member is nephew Tom Arnold and he gets a lot of press and space in the scrapbook.

You will remember it was Tom and his family comps that forced Billy to stay in the sweltering iron lung at the theatre parking lot during the premiere of the Final Season.......but thats another post from the past.

Some bloggies say the naked Gun looks a lot like Billy's Uncle Heinie. I've posted the two side by side. You make your own comparison.
