The Bozo show...my claim to fame is my mom ran our local Cub Scout pack and we got to go to a taping of Bozo in Grand Rapids (Dick Richards played him here). We all little tickets with a number on them and they were going to draw a number and whoevers number came up got to play the Treasure Chest game. I couldn't believe it...my number came up!

My task was to bounce three ping-pong balls into a hula-hoop that was lying on the ground. Three balls, three chances, get 'em all and I would win a crap load of prizes.

First one, in! Second one in! Third one.....IN!!! Yes!!! I won (among other things) an Easy Bake oven, a Hot Wheels race car track set, one of those giant cloth and wire tunnels, a giant Slow Poke sucker, a giant tootsie roll filled up with small tootsie rolls, a globe and a crapload of other things I don't remember.

My claim to fame is being one of Art Linkletter's kids! I was 6 years old, totally humiliated my parents with my answers to Art's "questions," and got a doll, a table and chairs and a pair of roller skates.
