westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 4:03 pm Humphrey Bogart and Ralph Houk appear to be the two signatures at the top. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 4:07 pm Bottom one Bob Cummins of actor fame? And Bogart's on top. Gotta be USO troupe, but not middle two...? See Houk now, not Bob but Don Cummery? what it looks like, not ringing a bell? Harry or Henry through set.#? Edited by Crazyb0 03/14/2017 4:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 4:49 pm The date on the back of the note is "28th October 1943" with the note "Africa to Sicily" and the printed name "Robt L. Hill". I figure the note was a keepsake from a USO show. I now believe the 3rd signature is actress Mayo Methot Bogart who was Humphrey's wife during this time period and attended USO and War Bond events with him. They divorced in 1945. I am still stumped with the 4th signature. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 6:38 pm Well duh - The answer to the fourth signature is right there in the press clip - the name is "Don Cumming", an apparent USO vet. Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 6:39 pm Wow I would have spent $60 on that easily. Report this Post to the Staff
