I remember the comedian, Flip Wilson, as a ‘female illusionist’. He was funny. The illusionists of today are pitiful.

Yes!! Geraldine. Flip Wilson was an amazing comedian. Or Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire. Or the entire 'Birdcage' movie. All hysterical! Because they never took themselves seriously. Sure wish we could go back to the days when saner heads prevailed.

Flip was a great comedian and if you really want to go way back, there was “Uncle Miltie” (Milton Berle). My dad used to roar.

I was a two year old. The War was only 6 years prior. It was a different world.
