You know Bob Ross was a fascinating man. He served time in the military and went to war.
I didn't know that. I also didn't know he was born in Florida. I've always wanted to visit there.
Yeah, Florida is beautiful, but Bob went to war and because of witnessing all the violence first hand it prompted him to take such a peaceful stance with his painting.

Yeah, which is why he was such an advocate for animals on his show "The Joy of Painting"

mother deserves all the credit. She always made me live right...tonight he (Welsh) showed more skill than I ever saw before...he is a game fellow.

I've always been afraid of hitting a man who was helpless like that so I didn't hit him on the chin
