BroadwayWorld.com reports that Tony Award-winning actor Christian Hoff paid his respects to the original JERSEY BOY himself at the Frank Sinatra Commemorative Stamp release. This event took place on Tuesday May 13th, 2008 at Gotham Hall in New York City, which was the tenth anniversary of the legend’s death.
Regarding Mr. Sinatra, Christian Hoff stated,
“As a first generation American, I share with Frank Sinatra the realization of the American dream, taking the dream our fathers had of a better life and taking it to the top.”
Those eyes! That smile! No, not Frank’s:)

I love how the article parallels Frank’s star still rising (beat out 50,000 entries for the stamp) with Christian’s current successes. Interesting the Frank’s Oscar win and Christian’s Tony win propelled both of their careers to even greater accomplishments.
Bravo to Christian. But Nancy looks great too! Wasn’t “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” (or as Tommy DeVito might say… “for Walkin’ Like a Woman!”) about 42 years ago? Just do the math!

Jim does have a cool store. And I mistakenly referred to it by another name on a blog comment under the topic of “…over 2 million pages served”
I apologize. YESTERDAYS TREASURES…don’t forget it!

This is a great photo. I suspect I’ll see Christian’s smile every time I see the stamp now.
