WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
It's Thanksgiving from the Las Vegas Hilton! It's also Family Week, as you can see from our trio, or sextet...
Kathleen Braven & Maureen Torkelson are sisters from Las Vegas. They are part of a family of 12. Kathleen just returned to teaching 1st grade, while Maureen homeschools her 2 children.
Kalin Strimbo & Beth Holt are mother and daughter. Kulin manages a travel agency and likes karaoke, while Beth has been a financial advisor for 24 years.
Mary Ann Hintou & Lydia Zeller are also mother and daughter. Mary Ann is a retired nurse who owns a gift basket company, while Lydia likes to cook for her father and read to her baby.
Anyway, let's begin.
