Infants and toddlers Cheryl Benko, Billy Cimilluca, Mike Stevens, Mickey Ryess, Joy Hirsch, George Helfrich and two unnamed youngsters: “We were all born in cars on the Garden State Parkway” 
What Garry calls the Garden State Club is more specifically the Garden State Stork Club, a remarkably exclusive group.  At the time of this Secret there are only twelve members, eight of whom appear here.  The Garden State Parkway opened on July 1, 1955, and young Billy, the club’s charter member, was born ten days later.  Billy’s middle name is Parkway.  The Stork Club gained 35 members between 1955 and 1975, before officials finally stopped keeping count.   

Sonar Man First Class James Hall from North Tonawanda, New York and Lt. Cmdr. Richard T Arnest from Gales Ferry, Connecticut: “We went swimming under the polar ice cap” 
The two men were crewmen aboard the USS Skate, which on March 17 had become the first submarine to surface at the North Pole.  The Skate had visited the pole six months earlier, but dangerous ice conditions kept her from surfacing on that trip.  The sub gets its unusual name from a type of fish similar to a ray.  It made several more trips to the pole, among many other assignments around the world, before being decommissioned in 1986.   

Special Guest Hugh O’Brian does assorted simple physical tasks for the panel by “remote control” using an elaborate device called the Master-Slave Manipulator, the sort of thing usually used in atomic plants to handle radioactive materials from a distance.  Garry plugs O’Brian’s popular western series Wyatt Earp.  O’Brian played the role for 229 episodes across six seasons from 1955 to 1961.
