We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
BOB and RAY
SPICE OF OUR LIFE
One way to tell Bob and Ray apart: Bob and Jane Elliott love their cats — Ray is allergic to them.
Pride and joy of Ray and Liz Soulding's home is baby Barbara, their third child and only daughter.
By CHRIS KANE
One is slight and blonde. (That's Bob Elliott.) The other's larger, darker, with an upper lip where his moustache used to be. (That's Ray Goulding.) Instead of two minds with a single thought, they have half a mind between them. At least that's the impression they try to give.
"Bob's good on the ukulele," Ray says. "Ray's good on the elevator," Bob says. They came from Boston — full of beans, naturally — to take over NBC, which still hasn't recovered from the shock. The boys often introduce their show by announcing simply: "Bob and Ray take great pleasure in presenting the National Broadcasting Company."
Before they presented the National Broadcasting Company, with its glorious network facilities, they labored on a local show where they depicted the activities of Mary Backstage, Noble Wife. Mary was a girl from a deserted mining town out west who came to the big city to find happiness as the wife of Handsome Harry Backstage, idol of a million other women. Something like that, anyhow. AH the characters were played by Bob and Ray— the scripts completely ad-libbed as they went along.
The boys are still satirizing anything and everything — but that ain't all. They'll even make fun of themselves.
Ray claims he has a Shetland pony, Bob claims he designs his own socks.
