Potential Foodie in the Family

Going through some files of my late uncle, Umberto, I discovered a secret stash (in a folder misleadingly labeled IGLOO REPAIR, SHUNK THE ALEUTIAN, SEAL ANATOMY IDENTIFICATION) of a 100 or so different photos of the late crooning sensation, Bing Crosby, eating a wide assortment of sandwiches and sandwich-related foodstuffs. One particularly dog-eared pic depicts him clutching a hoagie on the set of his film ROAD TO MOROCCO with the caption (presumably written by my uncle) A GRASP THAT LEAVES ME GASPING scrawled in a shaky hand on the back. Another shows Bing practically unhinging his own jaw taking in a triple-stacked sandwich with YOU MAKE DAGWOOD LOOK LIKE A BITCH, GORGING-BUH-BUH-BUH-BABY scribbled across the bottom. The hell kind of secret...fetish...was this fellow harboring? Where'd all the pictures come from? Is there a market for this sort of thing?
