Dee Woolem from Rogers, Arkansas: “I can draw my gun, cock it, aim it and pull the trigger before Garry can clap his hands.”
Woolem is in full cowboy getup.  He is a four-time winner of the National Fast Draw Championship.  He calls himself “The Daisy Kid” because he tours the country promoting the Daisy line of toy cap guns.  In the 1950s, he robbed trains in a “ghost town” for tourists at the Knotts Berry Farm amusement park.   


Sgt. Joseph Lanzrath and Lance Corporal Ken Barrett from London, Ontario: “We jumped from an airplane.”  Lanzrath: “My parachute failed to open” and Barrett: “I caught him in mid-air”                 
The men are members of the Royal Canadian Army.  The incident happened on April 19, on a routine jump from 1250 feet.  Barrett was a rookie paratrooper, later decorated for his resourcefulness and bravery. The show covered similar ground on a 1956 episode ( E175 ).  


Special guest Ray Bolger tries to get the panelists to ask specific questions, using his actions and props to push them in the right direction.  He ends riding off on horseback, only to return to lead the Nassau Women’s Band in a parade.  Bolger plugs the upcoming Walt Disney live-action movie Babes In Toyland (1961) in which he plays the evil Barnaby.
