[theme music] ANNOUNCER: One of America's favorite treats was created in the kitchen of the Philadelphia Gas Company.

What were they?

And what did Philadelphia doctors recommend in 1771 for preventing vertigo, epilepsy, and fevers?

To find out, play The Pennsylvania Game.

[applause] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Uni-Marts Inc., with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

Serving you with courtesy and convenience, every day of the year.

Uni-Marts-- more than a convenience store.

[theme music] Now, let's get the game started.

Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, the woman who says, when in doubt, press a or copy Bernie, Lynn Cullen.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Save your applause.

We are going to have many reasons for you to applaud later in the show.

For instance, let's meet this wonderful panel.

You can applaud each one in turn.

[upbeat music] Well, we know him.

Bernie Asbell.

He's a regular on The Pennsylvania Game.

He's also an accomplished author who's written tons of books.

Give a warm welcome to our friend, Bernie Asbell.

[applause] And Helen Manfull is a Professor of Theater Arts at Penn State, and winner of Penn State's Lindback Award for Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching.

She is a highly respected actor and director.

We're delighted to have Helen Manfull with us.

And finally, Pete Wambach, Sr., back to defend his title from last year.

Pete is the former host of This is Pennsylvania, which aired on 100 radio stations daily for 18 years.

Hard to beat that.

Welcome back, Pete.

Thank you, dear.

Good to see you.

Hello.

OK, This is Pennsylvania and this is our first question.

ANNOUNCER: One of the most powerful and widely read female gossip columnists of the 20th century was born in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

Who was she-- A, Judith Martin, B, Louella Parsons, C, Hedda Hopper, or D, Liz Smith?

LYNN CULLEN: All women to be reckoned with, to be sure, but only one is a correct answer.

One of the most powerful and widely read female gossip columnists, who was she?

Bernie.

[ding] Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper were head-to-head competitors, and I wish I weren't old enough to remember that, but I chose Louella.

LYNN CULLEN: You chose Louella.

Mhm.

OK, Helen, you're an actress, so-- Well, I want to agree with Bernie, so I chose Louella also.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, Louella's got two, huh?

Pete, you got anything for Hedda or?

I was-- I was once on a train with this woman and her name is Hedda Hopper.

LYNN CULLEN: You were on a train with Hedda Hopper?

I was.

Pennsylvania Week, the first one we ever celebrated, and she came from Hollywood.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, and that's who you chose, Hedda Hopper?

PETE: I chose C. Yes, Hedda Hopper.

OK, let's see if the woman on the train was the right answer.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, Hedda Hopper.

[applause] She was born Elda Furry, to Quaker parents in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

[upbeat music] At 28, She married matinee idol DeWolf Hopper, and the couple moved to Hollywood to further his film career.

In 1936, Hedda hosted a chitchat radio hour.

And two years later, at the age of 48, began her 28-year career as the infamous columnist who terrorized the entertainment industry.

Hedda wrote in an era when gossip columnists were more powerful than ambassadors.

Even studio moguls feared her caustic and sharply-written column.

And it didn't seem to matter that her information was often incorrect.

Hopper and her famed rival, Louella Parsons, enjoyed a whopping combined readership of 75 million.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. Hedda Hopper always wore a hat, right?

Right?

BERNIE: He had an unfair advantage on that.

Factual-- LYNN CULLEN: Yes, he met her on Factual information, that's not fair.

LYNN CULLEN: We can't help it who he bumps into on trains.

Hey.

Hey, listen.

Sorry, I bumped into her.

LYNN CULLEN: Hey, Pete.

If you're if you're looking for something to do on a lazy August afternoon, PETE: Take a train.

Look at this.

Take a train.

ANNOUNCER: Since 1960, the third Saturday of each August is reserved for an unusual York County event.

Is it the annual-- A, apple-eating contest, B, copperhead hunt, C, weightlifting contest, or D, citywide scavenger hunt?

LYNN CULLEN: OK.

I can tell none of them are from York County.

They aren't sure.

It's apple-eating contest, copperhead hunt, weightlifting contest, or a citywide scavenger hunt.

[chiming] We've got two hunts, two contests, and we need an answer from Helen.

Helen?

I think it's the copperhead hunt.

LYNN CULLEN: You think it's a copperhead hunt?

HELEN: Mhm.

LYNN CULLEN: Yuck.

You do.

Any reason?

HELEN: I saw a film at a film festival-- LYNN CULLEN: Oh.

--about this and made an impression.

LYNN CULLEN: I bet it would.

Of the list, it seemed interesting.

LYNN CULLEN: Pete, what do you think?

I go with Helen.

LYNN CULLEN: OK.

I went B. LYNN CULLEN: You went B. OK. And Bern?

BERNIE: I went B too, because there was a picture of a lake, and who would eat an apple in a lake, you know?

Or lift a weight in the lake.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, they all sort of look like they know what they're talking about this time.

And we do have B, B and a B.

Would B be correct?

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B.

[upbeat music] York County's Annual Copperhead Roundup has taken place on the third Saturday of August since 1960.

The event features the capture of live copperheads from the rocky hills and banks of the lower Susquehanna River.

The largest copperhead ever captured measured 43 inches in length.

As many as 88 snakes have been caught in a single day by volunteers, who release the snakes unharmed at the end of the day.

Yeah, and according to the organizer nobody has ever been bitten by a copperhead at this event, and the only reason that's true is because I've never taken part in it.

I can-- I can assure you of that.

We want to thank Raymond Thomas of York for sending us that question, and he will get a year subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine as a result.

BERNIE: From New York?

From York.

York.

Not New York, York.

Hey, Bernie, how many books have you written?

BERNIE: [laughs] How many books have you-- yeah.

I just finished the 14th today.

LYNN CULLEN: Number 14.

BERNIE: Today.

And that's about the history-- BERNIE: Regardless of when this show goes on, it's today.

LYNN CULLEN: The history of the birth control pill is what it-- what it-- what it's about.

But you know what I'm interested in?

I'm throwing you a curve.

What's number 15 going to be about?

I know but I'm not ready to tell.

Oh, you won't tell us.

Next series I'll tell that.

Oh, brother.

Helen, you were Daisy in Driving Miss Daisy.

Yes.

PETE: Oh great.

LYNN CULLEN: What a wonderful, wonderful-- But not here.

LYNN CULLEN: Where-- My colleague, Peg French, played the role here.

I played it in Greeley, Colorado.

LYNN CULLEN: Was it-- With a wonderful hulk named Charles Dumas, who is a filmmaker and an actor in New York, wonderful actor.

What a great role that is, huh?

HELEN: Oh, it is.

It's a wonderful role.

Is it awful, though, when somebody like Jessica Tandy does it on film and you see the film?

Or does that get in your way, or does it help, or does it-- No, no, because she was wonderful.

LYNN CULLEN: She was incredible.

She was really wonderful.

LYNN CULLEN: I can see you as Miss Daisy.

Thank you.

LYNN CULLEN: I wish I had.

Pete, you're a published poet.

Poet Lynn.

LYNN CULLEN: This is so alliterative.

Pete, you're a poet.

I didn't know it.

1992, I published a book of poetry about Pennsylvania.

LYNN CULLEN: Really?

128 poems about Pennsylvania.

By the way, I have a new book, Bernie.

LYNN CULLEN: [laughs] It's due out in a month.

That's wonderful.

And it's called Dear Mr. President, 1993, in which I wrote Bill Clinton a letter a day in 1993 on every subject, handwritten.

And it's the subject of a book called Dear Mr. President.

LYNN CULLEN: Wonderful idea, wonderful idea.

We're surrounded by all this talent, my heavens.

Well, speaking of poetry, let's see if you can make rhyme or reason out of this.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: Mount Penn Boulevard, in Reading, Pennsylvania, was renamed Duryea Drive in 1942, to honor the memory of Charles E. Duryea.

Was Duryea-- A, founder of the first driver's education school, B, the first asphalt manufacturer, C, inventor of the gasoline-powered automobile, or D, ringmaster of Pennsylvania's first circus?

LYNN CULLEN: [laughs].

Gee, what would that be?

First driver's ed school, first asphalt, inventor of the gasoline-powered automobile, or ringmaster?

[chiming] Hm.

I'd be puzzled, too.

Pete, have you chosen?

I've chosen C, Duryea.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, gee.

They celebrate Duryea Days in Berks County and that might be why.

And it's where automobiles were established, a number of them.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, I think you're too smart for this show.

I don't know-- PETE: Well, this is a guessing game.

This is a fun game.

LYNN CULLEN: Yes, it's a wonderful game.

Bernie, what did you guess?

You said-- The first driver education school was run at Penn State.

LYNN CULLEN: Uh-huh.

And Charles Duryea's name looks familiar, so why not?

LYNN CULLEN: Why Not?

Sure.

LYNN CULLEN: I like A. Helen?

I chose asphalt manufacturer because it sounds like he was rich and sometimes people name roads after rich people.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, indeed they do.

Well, look at that.

We have A, B, C. Let's see what's right.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C. [jazz music] In 1892, Charles E. Duryea invented and manufactured the first successful gasoline-powered automobile in America.

In 1895, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company was started in Springfield, Massachusetts.

By 1900, the Duryea Power Company of Reading, Pennsylvania was organized, and Reading became the Center of Duryea automobile production from 1900 to 1911.

1942, the drive up Mount Penn to the pagoda, where Duryea tested the high gear, hill-climbing prowess of each of his three cylinder automobiles, was renamed Duryea Drive in Charles Duryea's honor.

I didn't know that.

And Duryea was the first to use pneumatic tires, which were in fact on the car that he and his brother drove to win America's first auto race.

So there you have it.

There you have it.

And Pete, you have the lead.

You have not gotten one wrong yet.

You have three points to Bernie and Helen's one.

You're running away with it.

[applause] Hey.

[chiming] [mystery music] Listen up.

Here is our first clue for our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Get it right on this one and you've got three points to your name.

Walking shoes and gone for the day not only described this Millersburg native's work, but also his favorite pastime.

[timing music] Walking shoes and gone for the day not only describe this Millersburg native's work, but also his favorite pastime.

Walking-- LYNN CULLEN: Hmm, sounds like a tough one doesn't it?

Walking shoes?

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

Well, you puzzle over that.

And while you're puzzling over that, how about taking a gander at our next question?

[tense music] ANNOUNCER: On December 27th, 1773, 8000 people assembled at the state house for what was, at the time, the largest gathering in the history of Philadelphia.

Was the meeting assembled to-- A, protest the taxes being proposed for Philadelphia, B, volunteer for and declare war on Great Britain, C, support Benjamin Franklin and other signers of the Declaration of Independence, or D, prevent the tea on board a British ship from landing.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, boy.

They're all pointing to trouble ahead.

Could we have the date again?

LYNN CULLEN: The date was December 27th, 1773.

1773.

Were they protesting taxes, volunteering for and declaring war on Britain, supporting Ben Franklin, or preventing tea on a British ship from landing?

And I need you to log in your responses, please.

And Bernie, I need to know what you chose.

I somehow have no doubt it was A.

It started this long tradition.

Pennsylvanians spend more time protesting taxes.

I think it's the state hobby.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, we spend more time paying them I think, and then protesting them.

Helen?

I also chose A and because of the date.

[ding] LYNN CULLEN: Uh-huh, OK.

Here we're getting unanimous again.

Are we, Pete?

And I had a choice of A or D, and I chose D because of the date.

I haven't the faintest idea.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, so Pete, you're out on a limb all by yourself there, preventing tea on a British ship from landing.

Let's see who's right, if any?

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. [applause] Before the Boston Tea Party occurred, Philadelphians had schemed to prevent the landing of English tea at port.

On Christmas Day, 1773, Philadelphians were notified that the British tea ship, Polly, was in route.

A public meeting was called and a resolution was quickly adopted.

Captain Ayers would be denied entry and returned to England.

To ensure that the tea was not landed, a committee for tarring and feathering delivered a handbill to Captain Ayers which read, "what think you Captain of a halter around your neck, 10 gallons of liquid tar decanted on your pate, with feathers of a dozen wild geese laying over that to enliven your appearance?"

Needless to say, Captain Ayers quickly pulled anchor and returned to England.

Gee, I've served on lots of committees in my days, but the committee for tarring and feathering?

BERNIE: Isn't that something?

Wow, they knew how to do committees back there in 1773, did they not?

Let's get our next question.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: In 1771, doctors recommended them for preventing vertigo, epilepsy, sore eyes, and fevers, but Philadelphians ridiculed them as being too feminine.

What were they-- A, girdles, B, umbrellas, C, high-heeled shoes, or D, handheld fans?

LYNN CULLEN: Huh, OK. Well this is-- the year, Helen, if you're concerned again, is two years earlier than the last question.

This is 1771.

Said to prevent vertigo, epilepsy, sore eyes, and fevers, but ridiculed because there were too feminine.

What were those things-- girdles, umbrellas, high-heeled shoes, or handheld fans?

Helen?

Mm.

LYNN CULLEN: And what was that at the end of that?

I-- pure gas.

High-heeled shoes.

LYNN CULLEN: High-heeled shoes, C, prevent vertigo.

[laughs] Pete?

I took B and I forget what it.

LYNN CULLEN: It was a guess, that's what it was.

Umbrellas.

LYNN CULLEN: It was umbrellas.

Like parasols.

LYNN CULLEN: That's right, that's right.

I don't know.

This is a-- LYNN CULLEN: Bernie?

Well, it's obviously girdles.

LYNN CULLEN: It's obviously girdle.

Girdles cure vertigo.

PETE: You're right, it's obvious.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, indeed.

I can see you've never been in one.

That is obvious.

I've never-- LYNN CULLEN: OK, well, let's see what the answer is indeed.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, umbrellas.

[applause] Although the first umbrella was made about 3000 years ago, it was not introduced to Philadelphians until 1738.

Quaker Edward Shippen imported the device from India aboard the Constantine.

A popular accessory in Europe and India, Philadelphians gave it mixed reviews.

Doctors encouraged their use, claiming the umbrellas prevented everything from sunburn to epilepsy.

The public, however, thought the umbrella was much too feminine for American fashion.

PETE: Never heard of it.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, the history of the umbrella is so vague that no one's quite sure if it was started to shade people from the sun or to keep the rain from falling on them.

I'll tell you one thing we're sure of.

I have never seen anyone run away with a game like Pete, as you have not gotten one wrong.

You have five questions, you have five correct answers.

I've guessed it three of them.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, well Helen and Bernie don't have a chance.

Now they do.

They'll meet you in the alley after the show.

Be nice to our guests.

[applause] [quizzical music] Oh, OK.

This might offer an opportunity for you to catch up, Helen and Bernie.

Here's our second mystery clue.

Grouse was his favorite bird, but "Big Red" was his most popular work.

PETE: Big red?

LYNN CULLEN: It's a tough one.

Grouse was his favorite bird, but "Big Red" [clucking] was his most popular work.

Where do you write your guess on this one?

On two?

LYNN CULLEN: On two.

This would be guess-- on 2, second clue.

Walking shoes and gone for the day not only describe this Millersburg native's work, but also his favorite pastime.

I'm looking at you with great sympathy, Helen and Bernie.

I really am.

This is a toughie, isn't it, audience?

Yeah.

Well, listen.

Keep mulling it over and we'll move on to the next question.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: In 1993, the citizens of Peanut, Pennsylvania made the Guinness Book of World Records for accomplishing a feat that had never been recognized by the record keepers before.

Was it-- A, making the world's largest sandwich, B, catching the most fireflies, C, unearthing the largest intact clump of coal, or D, eating the most foods made with peanut butter.

LYNN CULLEN: Peanut, Pennsylvania you might have never heard of it before, but there it is, and it's been recognized for one of those things-- largest sandwich, most fireflies, largest intact clump of coal, or most foods made with peanut butter.

[chiming] OK, Pete?

Oh, come on.

LYNN CULLEN: Look what's riding on this.

Come on.

You're going to-- Look, I'm an only child.

You're picking on me.

LYNN CULLEN: What'd you pick?

I picked A. LYNN CULLEN: Oh, you did.

[ding] Making the world's largest sandwich.

What else?

But he doesn't know why.

I'd go with A if I were you, if he did.

[laughter] Bernie?

Just last night, I was preparing for this by going through the Guinness Book of Records.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, you were-- And they dug the largest-- LYNN CULLEN: Clump of coal.

Clump of coal.

[ding] C. Helen?

I chose A. LYNN CULLEN: OK, we've got two A's and a clump of-- clump of coal.

[laughter] Let's see if Pete's got his string intact here.

Oh I doubt it.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, making the world's largest sandwich.

[applause] The 40-foot-long, 1-foot-wide sandwich weighed nearly 250 pounds.

[upbeat music] The Guinness Book of World Records had never recognized a sandwich entry before because no one had ever been able to keep the bread in one piece.

But members of Peanut's adult Peanut Butter Lover's Fan Club took great pains to ensure their bread remained intact.

They worked around the clock, making two extra long pieces of bread at a Pizza Hut in Latrobe.

The bread was fed slowly through a large oven, and then loaded onto boards, then onto a tractor trailer.

State Police escorted the truck as it traveled the nine miles to the high school, where volunteers smothered it with-- what else-- peanut butter and jelly.

Oh, yeah.

You know, peanuts have absolutely nothing to do with the naming of Peanut, Pennsylvania.

It was named peanut.

Because it was an old coal mining town and they mined two sizes of coal, one pea-sized coal, and the other nut-sized coal, and they put them together and got Peanut, Pennsylvania.

Pretty interesting, huh?

PETE: You should get a mark for that, Bernie.

LYNN CULLEN: Well listen, here's something else.

PETE: You said something about coal.

LYNN CULLEN: Here's something else to chew on.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: On November 11th, 1932, one of America's favorite treats was first created in the kitchen of the Philadelphia Gas Company.

What were they-- A, Mrs. smith's frozen pies, B, Pop-Tarts C, Girl Scout cookies, or D, Tasty Cakes?

LYNN CULLEN: Gee whiz, but at the Philadelphia Gas Company, my lord.

Mrs. Smith's frozen pies, Pop-Tarts, Girl-Scout cookies, or Tasty Cakes.

[chiming] First created in the kitchen of the Philadelphia Gas Company.

Bernie?

Did Mrs. Smith live in Philadelphia, do you know?

LYNN CULLEN: I don't-- listen, I ask the questions, you give the answers.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot to hit this.

PETE: I'm going large for this.

Yeah I'll-- I love Girl Scouts, but I'll go with Mrs. Smith.

[ding] She didn't have a stove at home and she went to the gas company-- LYNN CULLEN: Oh, yes.

And she said please.

PETE: Way to go, Bernie.

LYNN CULLEN: Absolutely.

Charity, charity.

Absolutely.

Helen?

I went Tasty Cakes for no reason in this world.

PETE: Every reason.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. And Pete?

I was going to take Tasty Cakes and I went with Bernie.

I'm A. LYNN CULLEN: You're A?

Yeah.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, Bernie, that ought to make you feel pretty good.

Probably the first one he misses.

Well-- LYNN CULLEN: Well-- You can bet on it, Bernie.

Let's see-- let's see if Bernie's right.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, Girl Scout cookies.

[jazz music] The Girl Scouts very first commercial cookie sale was held in December of 1934, in Philadelphia.

The fresh baked cookies were sold for $0.23 a box to pay for Camp Indian Run.

The first national cookie sale was held two years later in 1936.

Keebler Baking Company supplied the classic vanilla cookies in the shape of a trefoil, the Girl Scouts' official emblem.

They were sold 50 to a box for $0.25.

Over the next 50 years, many varieties were added, including Thin Mint, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Legendary Samoa, introduced in 1982.

The annual sale now grosses more than $300 million for Girl Scout councils nationwide, so that girls everywhere can participate in scouting.

You know, interestingly, when the cookie idea was first proposed as a fundraiser, the Girl Scouts and the leaders were really lukewarm about it.

Today, it is one of the best-known fundraisers of all time.

I mean, who would turn down a little Girl Scout with a box of cookies, right?

PETE: I heard that they don't get too much for their boxes of cookies, but in the past year there was-- LYNN CULLEN: Don't you smear the Girl Scouts?

No, no.

Just the opposite.

Oh, just the opposite.

That they-- the girls don't-- local troops.

Actually, yes, the Wall Street Journal did a bit of an expose-- PETE: Yeah, they did, didn't they?

That's a shame.

Yes, that's true.

PETE: It's a shame that they treat kids that.

[laughter] Pete's getting all worked up over there.

You know I have 14 kids, you know?

LYNN CULLEN: That's right.

Pete, Pete, calm down.

Don't get so worked up about it.

The Girl Scouts are fine.

They're fine, I promise you.

PETE: OK. Let's go to the next question.

[piano music] ANNOUNCER: On Monday night, September 30, 1940, Homer Romberger patiently sat in his automobile in the Pennsylvania town of Carlisle.

160 miles away, 43-year-old Carl Boe of Erwin was also sitting expectantly in his car.

What were they waiting for-- A, the century's most spectacular meteorite shower, B, tickets to the World Series, C, the first coordinated emergency evacuation drill, or D, the Pennsylvania turnpike to open?

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, Homer and Carl sitting there in their cars, one evening in September, 1940.

What do you suppose they were waiting to do?

Helen?

[chiming] Have you chosen one?

Yeah, I have.

I chose the first coordinated emergency-- LYNN CULLEN: Evacuation drill.

--evacuation drill.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. OK. You chose it but you're not so sure.

[laughter] Pete?

First section Pennsylvania turnpike.

[ding] LYNN CULLEN: Oh, well that was said with great authority, great authority.

Bernie?

I wish I weren't old enough to remember that it ran from Carlisle to Irwin at first.

HELEN: Well, I'm so glad I'm young.

PETE: But the lady's from Ohio.

LYNN CULLEN: Yes, the woman's from Ohio, please.

Let's-- let's find out.

Poor Helen.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D, the Pennsylvania Turnpike to open.

[upbeat music] At exactly midnight, October 1, 1940, Homer Romberger and Carl Boe picked up their tickets, and drove into the history books as the first motorist to enter the Pennsylvania Turnpike, America's first superhighway.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, this is it, your last clue for the Mystery Pennsylvanian.

And I admit, it's a toughie this time.

Largely self-taught, he's regarded as Pennsylvania's best-known wildlife artist.

[timing music] Largely self-taught, regarded as Pennsylvania's best known wildlife artist.

Grouse was his favorite bird, but "Big Red" was his most popular work.

Walking shoes and gone for the day describe this Millersburg native's work and also his favorite pastime.

Helen, if I were in your chair, I'd be looking just like you're looking now.

I mean, this is something, you either know this or you or you don't.

I haven't a clue.

LYNN CULLEN: No, no.

I mean, you either know this-- Bernie, do you think this?

Yeah, on that last clue, I mean, if you know it, you know it, right?

Well Audubon pops to mind when you talk about birds and art, and I put down JJ.

It was James somebody, I think, if it was Audubon.

You're asking me?

Otherwise it might have been Irving somebody else.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, OK.

But you have Audubon, huh?

That's what I have.

LYNN CULLEN: And you're not so sure.

And Helen, you've just got a big blank.

Blank.

And Pete, I saw you writing when I gave you the last clue.

I got it on the second one.

Ned Smith.

LYNN CULLEN: Ned Smith.

And Bernie and Helen are saying who?

BERNIE: His wife baked the pies, you see.

PETE: That's Mrs. Smith's-- Ned Smith says Pete, and who would argue?

I took a guess on the grouse, the second one.

OK, let's find out if it's Ned Smith.

PETE: Then third one was another bird.

Let's find out, Ned Smith.

ANNOUNCER: Ned Smith is regarded as the dean of American wildlife artists.

Largely self-taught, he began his career as a magazine and book illustrator.

He developed a following among readers of Pennsylvania Game News for his stunning cover paintings, as well as his monthly columns titled "Walking Shoes" and "Gone for the Day."

He has worked for Field and Stream, Sports Afield, and National Wildlife Magazine.

His trademark compositions portrayed subjects in highly complex and dramatic settings.

Birds, for example, were often illustrated flying into a painting.

His best known and most popular painting is "Big Red," and grouse was his favorite subject.

In addition to game birds, he also painted songbirds and mammals, especially deer and foxes.

Although Smith died in 1985, he remains one of Pennsylvania's most popular wildlife artists.

Ned Smith, a famous Pennsylvanian.

OK, well it should come as no surprise that Pete won this show.

And Pete, by the way, that is, you have tied the highest score in the history of The Pennsylvania Game, with nine correct answers.

And Pete, you said that you knew that Ned Smith-- [chime] [applause] OK, listen.

Listen.

I wish we had something special for you getting that highest score, but what we have-- we have something special but even if you'd have gotten three we would have given it to you.

Last year I was stupidest winner in the history.

Well, now you're the smartest winner.

You have a Penn Pack Gift, filled with Made in Pennsylvania food products, distributed by Allens Market in Harrisburg.

Thank you.

You're a great panel.

Thank you, audience, you're wonderful.

And thank you most of all for joining us.

Join us again when we play The Pennsylvania Game.

ANNOUNCER: The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by-- [upbeat music] Uni-Marts Inc., with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

Serving you with courtesy and convenience, every day of the year.

Uni-Marts, more than a convenience store.

[theme music] WOMAN: Meals and lodging for contestants of The Pennsylvania Game provided by the Nittany Lion Inn, located on Penn State's University Park campus.

[applause]
