Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...

A $27,000 diamond and emerald ring
A one-week Brazilian holiday
A $29,000 Corvette

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Michael Macquarie: Paramedic, Santee, CA
Sandy Wise: Grandmother and newspaper typesetter, Carlinville, IL

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!

Thank you for confirming the air date. Sandy Wise was a typesetter with the Carlinville Democrat and their archives are on the Fulton History website. I have read every issue from late 1984 and there are no plugs for her at all considering she works for the paper!
