Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:49:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <00a101d0c8d7$b3973760$1ac5a620$@mc2research.org> (raw)
I may be showing my age, but Harvey was a 6' tall invisible rabbit.
"Harvey", 1950, starring James Stewart, Josephine Hull, Peggy Dow
Due to his insistence that he has an invisible six-foot rabbit for a best
friend, a whimsical middle-aged man is thought by his family to be insane -
but he may be wiser than anyone knows.
The description on the Harvey OS web site implies that this is the source of
the name.
