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.
