Do we still love Lucy?
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. -- The three sisters, from Texas, Wisconsin and the Buffalo area, walked slowly and with purpose, careful not to miss anything.
Because if you're at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Center, a museum stocked with more than 10,000 Lucy items, and you're a big fan of the iconic redhead, there's a lot you really don't want to miss.
Like Lucy's car, a pristine monogrammed 1972 Mercedes-Benz.
The three "I Love Lucy" replica sets built by CBS to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic TV show.
The wall of TV Guides, a magazine that featured Lucy's photograph 36 times on its cover, more than any other star.
Kris Reed and Kathy Orth were on vacation visiting their sister, Karen Ferington, when they decided a short drive needed to be made from Buffalo to Jamestown for a day in the birthplace of the First Lady of Comedy.
"We watched the show all the time as kids and we still do," Reed said on a recent day at the center. "I mean, can you get any funnier than Lucy?"
Ferington, who was ogling the purple suit, black hat and cello Lucy made famous in the 1951 episode "The Audition," said her daughter loves Lucy so much that she named her golden retriever after the late star.
"She was going to name her daughter Lucy, but thought that wouldn't be right," Ferington said before the three sisters started laughing.
Laughter is the tonic that catapults more than 20,000 visitors a year to the center and museum, 10 W. Third St.
That laughter also is expected to serve as the impetus for what could be as many as 10,000 people converging on Jamestown Wednesday through Aug. 7 for the 2011 Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy.
Saturday will mark what would have been Lucy's 100th birthday.
She died in 1989 in California at age 77. Her cremated ashes are buried in Jamestown, about 50 miles east of Erie, at Lake View Cemetery.
Advanced ticket sales, festival coordinators say, show Lucy fans coming from across much of the United States, from Canada and Japan, from Europe and Australia.
Surprised?
Don't be.
Lucy's image is the most easily recognized in television history. "I Love Lucy," which went off the air in 1957 after a seven-season, 180-episode run, has been seen by more than one billion people.
The show, which debuted on Oct. 15, 1951 -- one of 80 days that changed the world, according to Time magazine -- is the oldest still in regular rerun circulation.

Press Release from Senator Bob Duff - Connecticut Senate Democrats
Duff Reminds Residents They Can Opt-Out of AT&T, Yellow Pages Phone Book Deliveries
NORWALK—After seeing scads of telephone directories lying in driveways and at mailboxes in his neighborhood, State Sen. Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) today reminded residents that they can opt-out of receiving unwanted telephone directories by simply going online or making a phone call.
“These directories are usually dropped overnight, cropping up like weeds. Some people call it ‘phone book spamming,’” Sen. Duff said. “I understand these directories can be of value to those without access to a computer or the Internet, but for many people they’re just a bother. Fortunately, AT&T and others have made it relatively easy to opt-out of these unwanted directory deliveries.”
Sen. Duff suggested residents seeking to end such deliveries can visit one of two Web sites: www.yellowpagesoptout.com , or www.mydirectories.att.com , or can call toll-free 1-866-329-7118. Residents can also continue to recycle directories either in their curbside recycling bin (if allowed under town guidelines) or by taking them to a local recycling center.
“It’s worth noting that the first telephone directory was issued in February 1878—a single page that covered 50 customers in New Haven. Now, half a billion are printed annually,” Sen. Duff said. “From an environmental standpoint, I can’t imagine the amount of water and paper it takes to make these directories, or the amount of gasoline and oil it takes to distribute them. But I also know telecommunications companies would like to save money, too, by not delivering a product that the consumer has no use for.”
AT&T’s Web site notes that requests to opt-out of directory deliveries will be honored for three years, during which time you may be called to ensure that you reside at the same address and that you wish to continue opting out of the directories. It may also take as long as six to 12 weeks to cease he deliveries, and AT&T cannot honor certain opt-out requests, such as those where a landlord controls access to the location.
