>> Jearlyn: I LOVE J.G.
PRESTON BUT THAT SPACE SUIT, I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S MOVE RIGHT ALONG TO THE HISTORY PORTION OF THE SHOW.
LAST WEEK WE TOOK YOU BACK TO 1930.
IN MARCH OF THAT YEAR, A BELOVED FORMER ST. PAULITE DIED AFTER A TWO-YEAR RETIREMENT ON A FOREST LAKE FARM.
THEIR CLAIM TO FAME, A GRANDFATHER SO FAMOUS THAT HE HAD A ST. PAUL STREET NAMED AFTER HIM.
PLUS, HE OR SHE WAS THE LAST OF THEIR KIND UNTIL THEIR GROUP WAS RESURRECTED IN 1995.
OUR QUESTION FOR YOU WAS, WHO WAS THIS FAMOUS ST. PAUL GRANDCHILD?
JUST TWO CALLERS WITH WRONG ANSWERS FOR US TONIGHT.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> CATHY: ONLY ONE OF THOSE WAS REALLY A SERIOUS GUESS BUT WE'RE GRATEFUL YOU BOTH CALLED.
ONLY A HANDFUL OF CALLERS WITH AN INDEX FILE GUESS LAST WEEK.
THE SUMMER WEATHER MUST BE KEEPING ALL OF YOU AWAY FROM YOUR PHONES, OR MAYBE OUR VOICE MAIL SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.
FOR THIS WEEK'S RIGHT ANSWER, THE STAFF FAVORITE COMES FROM REGULAR VIEWER, BONNIE.
>> CATHY: YES, BONNIE, THE ST. PAUL GRANDCHILD WE SOUGHT WAS INDEED ELEANOR PATCH.
THERE'S HER FAMOUS HARNESS RACING GRANDFATHER DAN PATCH ON THE SCREEN NEXT TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF HER DEATH.
WE COULDN'T FIND AN IMAGE OF ELEANOR BUT ACCOUNTS AFTER HER DEATH SAY SHE WAS BELOVED BY A GENERATION OF ST. PAUL CHILDREN.
THINK YOU HAVE A HISTORY QUESTION FOR US THAT WILL GET THE PHONES RINGING?
