Cole Palen from Rhinebeck, New York: “I flew here in a 1912 airplane”                 
Palen left from Rhinebeck five days ago, but had to make frequent stops for repairs, and for the limited distances that such a plane could cover.  Palen is the founder of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, a “living museum” of working antique aircraft.  The Aerodrome continues to operate today, and now includes antique automobiles in its collection.  His enormous plane is displayed here, taking up the vast majority of the stage.   

[Mrs. Ruth Oster] from The Bronx: “I found a parking ticket on my car…A parking meter was installed during the night”   

Special guest Edie Adams brings “deep dark secrets” about the panelists themselves, and each question her to discover their own Secret.  “Bill flunked glee club in high school,” “Bess just started taking cooking lessons,” “Henry once refused to invest $8000 in a plot of land…That land is now worth 5 million dollars,” “Betsy doesn’t know it,  but – her daughter will make her 1st TV appearance tonight.”  Melissa “Missy” Merendino is about three years old here.  Adams is beginning a two-week engagement at the Latin Quarter in New York City.  Her personal secret tonight is that she was a baton-twirling champion as a teen, and she gets to show off her talents over the credits.
