"You never get fatigued unless you stop and devote some time for this." (Bob Trust) A whole lot of printer ink has been spilled within the lives of history's most important numbers, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important women and men in enough time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. Of all show business symbols in American background, one of the most favorite was Bob Trust, whose career spanned over six generations across film, television, vaudeville, funny, and touring and attained him way too many accolades to depend. On the day of his 100th birthday, over fifty percent of the state governments in America declared it "Bob Trust Day", a sign of precisely how monumental and important he was as an entertainer. Along the way he performed so many United Service Company (USO) tours, browsing troops, that Congress made him the "first in support of honorary veteran of the US military." Incredibly, he was presented with honorary honors for his career at the Academy Prizes nearly 40 years before his death and generations before he actually retired from general public life. By enough time he come to his twilight, he was an instantly known organization unto himself. All that would have been impressive for any American, let alone somebody who was actually given birth to in Great britain with the name Leslie Townes Trust. Indeed, the quintessential American entertainer wouldn't actually proceed to the country until he was four, and while his English origins may have helped his impressive impersonation of Charlie Chaplin when Trust was only a teenager, he quickly became an North american through and through.
