I had a long conversation(about various things)with Ward at the Gibtown Club, last Friday. He is looking good and is as enjoyable, as ever, to carry on a conversation with , on his life in showbiz.
For those who didn't know, Little Pete(Wards dwarf side kick) is in an assisted living home in Brandon, Fla.
