Lucy: The First 25 Years 1976

In 1976 I was 12 years old! That same year I clipped this article out of the newspaper. CBS was going to have a salute to Lucille Ball's 25th anniversary on television. Wow! As you can see from the article (from the Detroit News most likely), there was hope that this might be a Luci (Luci?) and Desi TV reunion on that show. Well, it didn't happen. Desi saluted Lucy in a filmed segment. But hey, at least he was on the special.

I recall the show very well and in those pre-VCR and dvd days I set up my little cassette recorder and captured some of the audio from that tv show which I listened to for years.

 This is one of the first articles in my Lucy scrapbook started all those years ago. My sister Monika provided the first page art work. She was 11 at the time!

There is a man out there who calls himself "Lucy's Biggest Fan." I'm sure the guy is sincere, but after all these years, this blog will be proof of perhaps a rival he or Lucy never knew of!
