Dr Grant: “My grandfather was Ulysses S Grant”
and Hanson Ely III: “My great-grandfather was Robert E Lee”
Ulysses S Grant III (The “Dr”
appellation appears to be, at best, honorary) was a retired major general who
spent much of his life speaking publicly about his famous ancestor at Civil War
memorials and similar events, culminating with the publication of “Ulysses S
Grant: Warrior and Statesman” (William Morrow & Co 1968) just before his
own death in 1969. Ely’s father and
paternal grandfather also served in the military. Ely would take his own life in 1963 at the
age of forty.
Special Guest Rudy Vallee had Faye Emerson’s
refrigerator brought to the studio.
While the blindfolded panel asks their
questions, Garry and Rudy help themselves to the contents. Faye recognizes the contents the moment her
blindfold comes off. Vallee had a long
career as a singer and actor, starting in the 1920s when he was one of the
first pop culture “teen idols” and continuing with acting roles in TV and film
in the 1970s. In his early performing
years, screaming fans created such a racket that he would sing his songs
through a megaphone, which became his trademark.
