I couldn't have possibly done this on my own. I want to thank, in no particular order:
My mom and dad (Mom couldn't go to the taping - she was recovering from eye surgery and had to stay away). They were the ones who put me in front of the TV watching game shows in my formative years, then taking me to tryouts and an occasional taping.
My wife Kelly (she was at the taping, but camera shy). She was the one who recognized my talent at solving puzzles and telling me, "You should try out for Wheel of Fortune!" "What, this game? I'm more of a trivia player! Oh, OK, all right, I'll try out."
The Game Show Forum and the Buy a Vowel Board. Seriously,
thank you. A special thanks to the ones I've met over the years (Klauss, Gene, Tammy). (looking up) You too, Randy. It's good to know that I'm, well, not completely abnormal.
