MORE ADVENTURES

AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS I HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET DUDLEY MOORE. HE IS A BIG HUGGER.
ELWOOD MET MANY PEOPLE THERE, BUT ONE OF HIS FAVORITES WAS THE EXTREMELY TALENTED DUDLEY. HE AND ELWOOD HIT IT OFF FROM THE BEGINNING AND SPENT SOME TIME SWAPPING STORIES ABOUT THEIR ADVENTURES. NOT ONLY WAS DUDLEY IN THE MOTION PICTURE "10", BUT ELWOOD GIVES HIM A "10" FOR BEING "DOWN RIGHT" FRIENDLY. ELWOOD HAS NEVER MET A BIGGER MAN.

THIS IS MY DATE ROSIE! I TOOK HER TO THE "WORLD'S OLD TIME PIANO PLAYING CONTEST" IN DECATUR, ILLINOIS.
EVERY MEMORIAL DAY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FLOCK TO DECATUR, ILLINOIS TO SEE THE "CREAM OF THE CROP" DISPLAY THEIR AGILITY ON THE IVORIES. AN AWARD WINNING DOLL MAKER NAMED GAIL ROSE LET ELWOOD TAKE HER CREATION "ROSIE" AS A DATE. ELWOOD WAS A COMPLETE GENTLEMAN. THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR MARRIAGE, BUT THEY STILL CORRESPOND.

THESE TWO ASKED ME A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS.
THEY WERE REAL NICE TO ME.
ELWOOD FIRST MET DONNY AND MARIE AT TIPPI HEDREN’S WILDLIFE RESERVE “SHAMBALA”. THEY WERE DOING THEIR TELEVISION SHOW FROM THERE. MARIE COLLECTS DOLLS AND DECIDED ELWOOD MIGHT LIKE TO VISIT AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH SOME OF THEM. HE NOT ONLY MADE FRIENDS; HE ALSO LEARNED WHAT GOES INTO SHOOTING A VARIETY SHOW.

MR. OSMOND SPOTTED ME IN THE AUDIENCE AND BROUGHT OUT A STAND-BY COAT FOR PICTURES.

AFTER A VISIT TO THE MALL OF AMERICA, SOME OF THE TEACHERS WHO WERE HOSTING ELWOOD IN MICHIGAN WENT TO THE THEATER. THAT NIGHT THEY WATCHED "JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT". THE STAR RECOGNIZED ELWOOD AND POSED FOR PICTURES WITH THE DEAR LAD. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE TEACHERS HAD A THRILL OF A LIFETIME AND ELWOOD HAD A CHANCE TO MEET A VERY GENEROUS GENTLEMAN.
