Former TCM host Robert Osborne and Lucille Ball were close friends, ever since Osborne was part of Lucy’s “kids” under contract at Desilu in her workshop during the late 1950’s. The first card and envelope was included with a gift from the redhead to Robert.
The second card was written to Barbara McClay, wife of Howard McClay who was Lucy’s longtime publicist. Ms. McClay wrote on the envelope the years 1983/1984 giving us the accurate timeframe when it was sent.
