Airdate: November 6, 1987

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

An $8,000 cash Jackpot!

A $14,000 game room!
Our $4,800 jewel strand of pearls!
A $7,800 hatchback!

Over $86,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Diana Fitzpatrick (returning with a 2-day total of $26,122)
Leanne Aylmer: Professional golfer, currently doing well on a mini-tour which is also her first year.
Roger LaFontaine: Travel agent, formerly a school teacher for 21 years, but is also a desert rock collector; from Dracut, MA

Pat doesn't know what kind of golf-related question to ask Leanne, so he asks Jack for a question: "Is she on the tour? And how's she doing?", after which Pat continues.

After Roger's interview, Pat asks if Jack has an intelligent question about rocks.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. 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!
