It was wonderful to have a youth where our family would get together weekly to watch the miracle performer of all time Red Skelton. Red had world class scripts or could be an ad-lib genius and improvise to perfection. The characters he created are beloved for the ages, Clem Kadiddlehopper, San Fernando Red, Freddie the Freeloader, Cauliflower McPugg, tippler Willie Lump-Lump, Sheriff Deadeye, Lord Beaverhead, and George Appleby. He had the cream of the crop of entertainers including, John Wayne, Milton Berle, Martha Raye, Tim Conway, Phyllis Diller, Mickey Rooney, Nipsey Russell, George Gobel, Robert Goulet, Merv Griffin,Vincent Price, Lou Rawls and Liberace. The wonder was our family felt like we were part of his family. The whole world was a better place when Red Skelton was in it.
