Letters.jpgBill Cherry has been a real-estate agent in Dallas for more than 40 years. He sounds like a great guy. If he sells your house or helps you find one, his agency gives 10 percent of its commission to your church, synagogue or favorite charity.

Bill has been an agent to the stars, including Andy Williams and Perry Como. Before he got married in the early 1970s, Bill subscribed to Playboy. For future reference on the Playboy lifestyle, he saved every issue from July 1962 to December 1971. Then he went further.

"I had them all professionally bound just like good books," he said. "Leatherette covers with gold lettering on the spines and fronts, sewn and glued...the whole nine yards."

Bill writes that he saved the issues because he never doubted he was the man that Playboy spoke to. "I just had a different name and was shorter than Hef. And I lived in Denton, Texas and Hef lived in Chicago. How could that really matter? I knew they were nothing more than minor obstructions to Playboy bachelor justice.” But now, he writes, “it's time for me to accept the fact that my Playboy days are over. My wife says that at 67 it's time to stop dreaming. 'It ain't gonna happen for you,' she told me.” She wants him to get rid of the collection. Can someone who knows Bill knock some sense into his head? IT’S NEVER OVER, BILL. Christa Speck just asked about you the other day.

Comments on this entry:

This is kind of cute so I hope it's a joke. If it is not then it's sad because he's been happily married for so long and Playboy obviously helped make that happen for Bill as well as his persnickety spouse (talk about delayed rrecation!)
BILL: people ask me if I want to be "Super Amanda" forever and run around YouTube making sure my aureoles never pop out and turning people on globally when I could have kids, a McMansion and an SUV and I too respond that "It's NEVER OVER!"

No Bill! Don't give in!!!NEVER SURRENDER!!
