Dear Diary,

Bob was at Fort Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina tonight. He had a guest band leader, Bob Allen, and things got a wee bit confused for my feeble brain once or twice there. Bob H. Said, “Here’s Bob and his band playing ‘You’ll Never Know,’ with Bob doing the lyrics. Take it, Bob ” or something on that order. After it was over, Wen Niles said, “Thanks, Bob. ” Who knew which Bob he meant? Bob pulled several jokes about Don Bingo, who won $27,000 at Belmont today. Bing will be able to hold that over Bob’s head for months now, just as he did when Don Juan II won a race in California last year. Which proves that Crosby does have a couple of good horses.
