	A good friend of mine is the neice of Moe and Shemp Howard. She
never mentioned Curly as having been a brother, and it is amoung the
things that we discussed.
	She says that Curly quit because of poor health, and a personality
conflict, and that Moe asked Shemp to fill in, and Shemp did so, but
wanted very much to only be temporary.
	Recently, my friend moved to California, but couldn't afford
to transport a lot of her worldly goods. So my house now contains a lot
of Moe Howard Artifacts, including some ceramics that he made, and
furniture that he gave his sister.
	My friend says that Moe was very generous, and a wonderful uncle.
He was really good at giving a child the kind of attention that children
want.
	All that aside though, I am startled to read that they are the
greatest comedy group of all time! I liked them, but not that much. I can
think of dozens of comedy teams that I liked better. Gleason & Carney,
Allen & Keaton, Burns & Allen, Firesign Theatre, Monte Python, Abbot & Costello
Flanders & Swann, Bob & Ray, Ackroyd & Belushi, to name a few.
