  • Quotes
    [on the decision by he and partner Norris Goff to retire their "Lum 'n' Abner" act] Abner [Goff] said that when we went off the air that he was "awful fer behind in my sittin'," and that's the business he's in right now--sittin', and lots of it. He never really enjoyed it the way I did, anyway, so I guess things worked out pretty well for both of us.
