Last summer, this website announced that Jerome "Curly" Howard's grave is a disgrace. The three "Nyuk's" were fading, and the base was badly in need of a paint job. We asked, rhetorically, whether we would allow Mount Rushmore or a monument of similar national import to remain unkempt in this manner? We called on all true Americans to help us raise funds to restore this grave site to its former glory.
Well, you've come through. To date we've raised almost $820,000 which will go toward building a fitting memorial to Mr. Howard. Stay tuned for details of the beautiful plan for the monument -- the likes of which the world has never seen.
This is an altogether fitting tribute to Mr. Howard, whose zany antics are an inspiration to emotionally and intellectually challenged Americans of all ages. We will build him a monument to reflect the esteem in which the free world holds him. Then maybe, at long last, the greatest Stooge of them all can truly rest in peace.
