Ivan and Wallace

My dear friend Bill “Wallace” Thompson of Wallace and Ladmoe.
In November of 2010, I helped produce a show for the City of Phoenix, AZ. Wallace is known by all in Arizona for his children’s TV show “Wallace and Ladmoe” on KPHO Ch 5, which ran for many decades in Phoenix. Bill came out of retirement for just a few hours to make the show a grand success. All he had to do was walk onto the stage and the crowd went into cheers and applause, evidence of their love for this wonderful man. The highlight of the event was when he gave Vice Mayor Michael Nowakowski a Ladmoe bag. Wallace is in his 80’s and still doing well.
I first met Wallace Ladmoe and Gerald back in 1976 when we opened Legend City Amusement Park. They were featured there every Sunday afternoon and they were our top attraction. It is said that Wallace and Ladmoe had the best kid show in the USA. THANK YOU Bill “Wallace” Thompson.
