Question:
Not a question but a really fun fact for you, Larry, as well as your dinnerware enthusiasts. Turner Classic Movies aired "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" the other night, starring the great Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones. When Gregory Peck’s character was invited to lunch (as part of a job interview and to meet the big boss), low and behold, the table was completely set with the Bob White pattern, even the pitcher! As a collector of Bob White myself, I must say that this scene was a super-cool, delightful surprise. Best, Luanne

Answer: Thanks for sharing. It’s always neat to see our favorite dinnerware displayed in movies and TV shows. A recent TV series had a Red Wing pattern that could be seen in kitchen scenes; I believe it was "Everybody Loves Raymond".
