Ginny Tiu from Chicago: “I can’t read music…I learned to play this piece by ear” 
12-year-old Ginny is introduced as a concert pianist with an event coming up in Carnegie Hall.  She plays a lively version of “Flight of the Bumblebee” (1900).  Ginny is part of a musical family that includes younger sisters Elizabeth and Vicky, and older brother Alexander.  All perform an original piece called “The Tiu Rock.”  The family made other TV appearances and would tour together briefly as “The Ginny Tiu Revue.” Ginny would continue her musical career into adulthood, performing primarily at various Hawaiian nightclubs.  In 1997, her sister Vicky would marry Ben Cayetano, the sitting Hawaiian governor, and would serve as First Lady of the state until 2002.   


Elodie McQuillen from Anderson, Indiana has a strongbox containing 89 uncashed checks: “These are my dividend checks from an oil well…All 89 checks add up to $5.72”                 
Mrs. McQuillen inherited her share in the well in 1958.  The checks, which we’re told costs the company about twelve cents each to process and mail, range in value from one cent all the way up to ten cents.   


Special guest Buddy Hackett answers biographical questions about himself, and the panel is challenged to remember his answers.  This is at least the fifth time the show has played this particular memory game, but Buddy’s entertaining responses make this old chestnut fun.
