Reviews

#32 in the collection should read; "Whidbey Island"

(4 stars)

DeTrixsta

Everyone pronounces it as "would be" but it's actually spelled "Whidbey". That is all.. Jack Benny was the greatest.

Just wanted to agree with the person about the spelling of Whidbey Island... Kind of fun also, to see that somebody like Jack Benny traveled to somewhere that I've been(I've traveled to Whidbey Island several times, as I live in Washington State; Oak Harbor in particular is a fairly nice city).

You misspelled Mohave (Mojave) also. No worries though, Jack Benny and the gang are the best. Thanks for making all of this available
