What do someone's initials mean?

[ruby slippers]

Ok, so the big "talking point" is that "who would want a president to sign legislation with the initials...."B O"? (an obvious reference to Obama's initials and silly right wing attack....



But, on another vein, I had to post this because look who RUBY SLIPPERS got for an autograph today....none other than Meinhardt Raabe, the only living cast member of The Wizard of Oz movie and also the Coroner Munchkin. He signed another book for me today....I'm almost as excited as last week when I got B.O.'s. My shoes are really clicking today!

He was the honored guest at my daughter's Spring Music play.

Do you think Obama might choose him for a running mate? RUBY could only wish.....

3. no, but if you look carefully at his signature, you will see Oz........

or at least that looks that way....

4. Wow! I have to say that is one STYLIN' autograph!

I always thought mine was pretty cool ... but his is
REALLY great -- almost beyond just alphabetical, bor-
dering on Chinese characters. (I take shorthand and
I always thought it would be cool to write my name at
least partly in shorthand doodles ... )

5. remember, he is left handed....but I still see Oz in it.......

8. Oh, you're right -- it's definitely there ... all the better!

The "Oz" books are among my favorites ... great if
Obama is also a fan!

11. Interesting. I turned it upside down to see if there was a subliminal

message in it and it looks like PE now.....must be a holdover from the hoop shooting days.....

12. He's not the only living cast member

but he is the oldest living cast member. Jerry Maren of the Lollipop Guild is still alive, as are a few others.
