She seemed like a nice person, good natured. RIP

As the obituary indicates, she was the only woman to ever win on the old game show The $64,000 Question. I also did not realize that her daughter and son-in-law live in Davenport, Iowa, where I resided from 1981-1985, and again from 1999-2004.

She appeared in a ton of TV shows and movies.

I think she was a regular on Laugh In.

And her category was...boxing.

Congratulations for surviving those 10 years, Overlay. My brother-in-law lives in Nichols, Iowa, a county or two east of Davenport. Not exactly "bright lights and big city" time when we visit them.

Good rule of thumb....we are all crazy.

As far as folks in my line of work (inspecting and evaluating the serviceability of the Army's ammunition stockpile) are concerned, the Quad Cities area is one of the larger venues where we're stationed, because it's an administrative headquarters location (the Joint Munitions Command on Rock Island in the middle of the Mississippi River), rather than an ammunition storage depot. Such depots and similar bulk ammunition storage facilities are usually sited at a fair distance from population centers of any appreciable size, due to the necessity of mitigating the effects of a possible explosive accident. During my career over the past 35 years, I've normally had at least a twenty-mile drive (and generally longer) to get to work, and even farther to get to a major city (or -- more importantly in pre-internet days -- to find a newsstand where I could buy the Form and other racing-related publications).
