Bill, Betsy, Henry, Bess

Ted Grevers from Battle Creek, Michigan: “I’m half the man I was three years ago…I lost 236 pounds”                 
Grevers is a private detective nicknamed ”The Fatman.”  He’s at 245 pounds here, down from a high of 481, but his weight would continue to fluctuate.  A 1967 newspaper profile had him at 360 pounds.  For a visual, Grevers brings in some of his old clothes to show, for example, that Betsy, Bess and Garry can all three fit inside one of his suit jackets.   


[Karen, Bobby and Ricky Cole] from Harlingen, Texas: “We are related to Betsy Palmer…our dad’s father’s brother’s daughter…is married to a man whose…mother’s sister’s son…is married to Betsy”                 
The kids worked all this out themselves, and contacted the show about their distant connection.   


Special guest Joan Bennett has extreme close-up photographs of objects otherwise quite familiar to the panel, such as Bess’ dimple, Bill’s glasses and Betsy’s cat.  The panel tries to identify them.
