The Ol' Guy:
Thanks, Matt -
Sounds like something I should pick up at the library. It just seemed that G-T wasn't into that kind of thing (other than the gambiting). I'll look forward to reading the information. If you know which book off the top of the head, it would be helpful.

Take care

This is a true story -- the writers hadn't thought of that exigency, and the incident gave (a probably fuming) Mark Goodson even more reason to be the "worst-case-scenario" planner that he was. [/quote]
 Does anyone recall the amount of cash won?

Brokaw's 2002 memoirs \"A Long Way From Home\" is the book that includes his story of playing \"Two For The Money\" as a teenager alongside South Dakota governor Joe Foss.
