"Say, Kids, What Time Is It? It's Time for Howdy Doody Stamp Day!"
Fort Lauderdale Postmaster Mike Fortunato (R) presents framed artwork of the Early TV Memories commemorative stamp set featuring Howdy Doody to Jack Drury (L), former business manager of Buffalo Bob Smith, creator of the infamous puppet. The Howdy Doody Stamp Day presentation brought back many fond memories to the "peanut gallery" of baby boomers at the Rotary Club of Fort Lauderdale luncheon. As you'll recall, the show was set in the imaginary town of Doodyville and blended live-action characters such as host "Buffalo Bob" Smith and Clarabell, the mischievous clown who never said a word until the last episode. What was his parting comment? "Goodbye, kids."
