Here are Granny and Charlie's chaperones, Charlie's son Billy and Billy's friend Jack. They went above and beyond the call of duty in keeping the Gumps' heads above water. In addition to bankrolling the trip, hosting Granny and Charlie in their home and playing tour guide in San Francisco, they kept track of the Merry Wanderers on the cruise and shore excursions, attending to emergencies both large and small. It can't have been easy, but these two guys brought a lot of joy to a couple of lovebirds. Granny may not fully appreciate their efforts, but the rest of the family sure does.
