ANNOUNCER: Do you know where you'll find the most technically advanced dairy farm in the entire US?

And do you know what the oldest living thing is in Pennsylvania?

Well, we're all going to find out as we gather round to play The Pennsylvania Game.

[audience clapping] [music playing] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Unimarts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania and New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

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

Unimarts, more than a convenience store, and by the Pennsylvania Public Television Network.

Now let's get the game started.

Here's the queen of quiz, the host of The Pennsylvania Game Lynn Cullen.

[applause] Thank you.

Please, please, [clicking].

It's embarrassing already, enough.

You're so nice.

Thank you so much.

I welcome you to The Pennsylvania Game.

And I want you to meet our panel, our victims for today, really.

Look at them, the poor, poor darlings.

This first guy you might, in fact, recognize, Kevin.

Kevin's been around for some time on The Pennsylvania Game.

And he's been around on the Kevin and Scott in The Morning Show on WRSC Radio in State College.

Please welcome Kevin Nelson.

[applause] And she is an accomplished actress and an associate professor of theater arts at Penn State.

Please welcome Peg French.

[applause] And, finally, Manny Gordon enjoyed a 44 year career as a state forester.

Today he's active in community project, and is very involved in his public television station WVIA in Scranton.

Please welcome Manny Gordon.

[applause] What an infectious smile you have over there, Mr Gordon.

MANNY GORDON: When you walk down on the steps I said, Sharon Stone, eat your heart out.

You look so good.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, Sharon Stone, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I love this man.

I love this man.

Hey, how about starting the game.

Let's start it.

And let's strike up the band at the same time, OK. ANNOUNCER: The inscription on the tombstone erected in his honor in his hometown of Penfield, Clearfield County, reads, "He gave his all for music."

Though he never achieved great wealth or fame in his lifetime, he was recently recognized by the National Educators Music Association as one of the world's 10 most important band music composers.

Who was he?

A, John Philip Sousa.

B, Samuel Barber.

C, Stephen Foster.

Or, D, George Rosenkrans.

LYNN CULLEN: Who was that guy in 4/4 time?

Who was he?

I need an answer from you all.

I need them logged in.

And I need you, Kevin, to explain yourself.

Oh, I've been trying to do that for years.

But I went with John Philip Sousa who's the only name I recognized.

LYNN CULLEN: The only one you know, John Philip Sousa.

It's a name I recognize too.

Peg French, who'd you vote for?

Well, I recognize John Philip Sousa but I thought it was too obvious, so I said Samuel Barber.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. Because I know he's a composer that's good.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, really?

I thought he did hair.

Manny.

PEG FRENCH: That too.

Stephen Foster was a pretty good-- I know he was up around northern part of Scranton.

But I thought Stephen Foster.

He did a lot of work in Pennsylvania.

LYNN CULLEN: You guys, gee, you know your A B Cs, but do they know the answer?

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. George Rosenkrans lived most of his life in Penfield, Clearfield County.

He's best known for his marches, having composed more than 200 band pieces in his lifetime.

One of the most popular, A Royal Welcome Home was inspired by his great love for his home town.

He worked in obscurity, living as a pauper, he never married, and left no heirs.

But he did leave a mountain of great music.

Music played by the finest bands during this country's most solemn occasions, such as the funerals of Franklin Roosevelt, John F Kennedy, and Dwight Eisenhower.

He died in 1955 at the age of 74.

Known by few when he lived, he is now widely recognized.

A marker stands in his hometown, Penfield, as a tribute to his contributions to music.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, in fact, Samuel Barber and Stephen Foster were Pennsylvanians.

John Philip Sousa was not.

And his Pennsylvania connection, he probably could have done without.

He died here.

He died at the-- in Redding in 1932.

Well, if he had to die, Redding-- Redding's a nice place for you to perish.

Oh, now we're going to get letters from all you folks at Redding.

He was just kidding.

Manny was kidding, I can assure you.

I better sober up and get to the next question fast.

ANNOUNCER: In November 1991, the Baileyville Bridge over Spruce Creek in center County became the only known bridge of its kind in the country to open for traffic.

What's unique about the Baileyville Bridge?

A, its sole purpose is for motorcycle traffic.

B, it's the country's only wooden drawbridge.

C, It's built entirely out of barnwood imported from Scotland.

Or, D, it's made of 100% glued and laminated Northern red oak.

LYNN CULLEN: Gee whiz, what the heck do you think the answer might be to that?

I can see some of you thinking, who cares?

What about that old Baileyville Bridge, what's so special about it?

Peg, what do you think?

I think it's, D. I think it's because it's made of 100% glued and laminated Northern red oak.

I don't remember that, but I remember it was all wood.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, OK. No particular reason, but that sounds right to you.

Manny, what do you think?

Yeah, we have a lot of Northern red oak.

In fact, that's probably the most popular of all the species in Pennsylvania.

I went for D. LYNN CULLEN: OK, now that's a forester talking so now I'm thinking maybe-- PEG FRENCH: I feel better now.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, you should feel better.

Manny, the forester, says it's D. I'm going to keep picking A till it's right.

[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: That's how people play the lottery all their lives.

That's right.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. Well, let's see if any of these questions add up.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. The Baileyville Bridge is the only known bridge of its kind in the country to be constructed of 100% glued and laminated Northern red oak.

The 35 foot long girder timber bridge was built under the states timber bridge demonstration program in 1991 to replace the old bridge which was built in 1947.

According to PennDOT, the new experimental bridge had to be able to carry unrestricted loads of a life of 40 years, be maintenance-free, durable enough to resist weathering, and most of all, be cost competitive.

The Northern red oak was selected because it is one of Pennsylvania's most abundant economical hardwoods.

LYNN CULLEN: You see Manny knew exactly what he was talking about.

MANNY GORDON: Once a while I'm right.

Yeah, once in a while you're right.

Kevin Nelson, once in a while you might be right but you're not proving it today.

I hope Pennsylvania Game.

You're a cat lover, aren't you?

Because I am too.

KEVIN NELSON: We're up to four now.

You have four?

What are their names?

KEVIN NELSON: Penelope, Muffanway, Mirth, and Kinga.

Mine is Smudged Lemieux.

Oh.

Don't your cats have last names?

Not anything we can use on the air.

OK.

It's a good show on Broadway too.

Yeah, in fact, that's true.

Peg, tell me about this now.

Wait, I heard that you were up for a part in a movie with Tom Hanks playing his mom.

And you lost out to who?

Joan Woodward.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, heck, if you got to lose out, why not lose out to an Academy Award winning actress, wow.

I did get to play her sister and his aunt.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, you did?

So you are in the film.

And the film is called what?

Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.

And we'll be watching for it-- In the fall.

LYNN CULLEN: --in the fall.

And I did get to spend a day hugging and kissing Tom Hanks, so it wasn't a total loss.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, my, my, my, my, my.

Woo, we're so envious.

As his aunt.

As his aunt.

Oh, those kinds of hugs and kisses.

MANNY GORDON: I was up for a part with Bo Derek.

[laughter] Manny, I've been told that you're famous for saying one word twice.

Twice.

Enjoy enjoy.

LYNN CULLEN: Enjoy enjoy.

What brought that on you?

I think it's so wonderful.

It's infectious.

Well, I was district forester over 40 years in the Scranton area.

I had a Poconos in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

And when a TV station asked me to do a four time a year litter program, and I was trying to think something a little bit different to open the conservation doors to get my message across.

So coming back one day from Tawanda, I stopped off at Wyalusing Rocks up in Wyoming County.

And that's the area where Marie Antoinette was supposed to come during the French Revolution, but they got to Marie before she got over here.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

So I looked at the area and I said one could really enjoy enjoy a view like this.

So that was it.

LYNN CULLEN: And the rest is history.

More or less.

Marie Antoinette never got to enjoy enjoy that view at all.

MANNY GORDON: No, she hung by that.

You might be in good shape for this next question because it has to do with a State Park.

And there's trees in them there parks.

Let's watch.

ANNOUNCER: One of the crown jewels of Pennsylvania's 277,000 acre state park system is Ricketts Glen State Park.

Spanning Sullivan, Columbia, and Luzerne Counties.

What is Ricketts Glen State Park most noted for?

Is it A, its numerous waterfalls.

B, insect-eating pitcher plants.

C, dense forest of rhododendron.

Or, D, raptor center.

LYNN CULLEN: Huh, what is Ricketts Glen State Park most noted for?

Manny-- Well, they have beautiful-- they have about 18 beautiful falls.

Starting from Lake Jean and goes all the way down to the bottom.

And last year Ricketts Glen State Park was voted the most natural state park in the country.

LYNN CULLEN: Did you write this question or something?

PEG FRENCH: I think he wrote the last two.

Gee, wins.

Why did that sound correct?

KEVIN NELSON: I have say, I think it worked out because I took A.

[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: All right.

I have a feeling you probably picked the right one.

Peg.

PEG FRENCH: So you just pick the same letter all the time?

You're bound to be right sometime.

KEVIN NELSON: Sure.

Once they use it, I got to start again, though.

I said C. I like dense forests of Rhododendron, so that's why I picked that.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. Well, liking them is one thing and winning with them is another.

Let's find out.

I think we know.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is A. Ricketts Glen State Park, 22 miles West of Wilkes-Barre has 13,050 acres of wild mountain land, two dammed lakes, a large tract of virgin hemlock forest, 20 miles of hiking trails, and most spectacular of all, 22 named waterfalls.

Ranging in size from 11 to 94 feet in height.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, beautiful, beautiful.

Here's how the score shapes up right now.

Manny is ahead with two points, and Peg and Kevin right behind him with one a piece.

[applause] And now our first Mystery Pennsylvanian clue panel, listen up.

You might get it on this first one.

You'll get three points if you do.

Born in 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, this actor's given name was Michael Douglas.

Born in 51 in Coraopolis-- that's near Pittsburgh-- he was born Michael Douglas.

Did you know that I can use this skit.

LYNN CULLEN: Owe, Owe, what is it?

I can't think.

I can't think.

While you're thinking-- while you're thinking and/or writing, let's move on to our next Pennsylvania Game question.

ANNOUNCER: For more than 30 years, from 1934 to 1967, a Black photographer was the photographer of Black Philadelphians.

Virtually every significant social event of his community was captured by his lens.

Today much of his work is archived at Temple University's Charles L Blockson Afro-american Collection.

Who was this Philadelphia photographer?

Was it, A, James VanDerzee.

B, Fabian Bacharach.

C, Roy DeCarava.

Or, D, John W Mosley.

LYNN CULLEN: He's a very famous photographer whose historical record is really a very precious one.

And as you heard, is at Temple University.

Kevin.

Well, I have to start with a new letter now since you've used A.

So I'm going to D, John W Mosley.

LYNN CULLEN: You're going to D. Any particular reason?

No, it's down.

LYNN CULLEN: It's down.

It's down, OK. Peg.

I picked A because Kevin-- LYNN CULLEN: It did so well for Kevin, right?

[laughter] OK, Manny.

I picked B because Bacharach is a famous photographer in New York.

He does a lot of stuff for The New York Times.

Same name as his-- same last name anyway, so.

OK.

So maybe it's part of the same family.

MANNY GORDON: Maybe it's part of the genes.

Maybe it's that same guy.

Who the heck knows?

You'll know in just a minute.

Watch this.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D, John W Mosley.

Today some 300,000 4 by 5 negatives and about 30,000 original Mosley prints are part of Temple University's Charles L Blockson Afro-american Collection.

Mosley recorded everything, from events of the Pyramid Club-- one of the most elite and prestigious Black organizations in the city-- to the annual Penn relays, to scenes of everyday life in Philadelphia.

The intent of his work was to show people in moments of unity and fellowship.

He was never interested in photographing the negative aspects of life.

Wonderful.

Wonderful photograph of him there.

OK, this next question, owe.

What's the oldest-- owe, oh, wait, I'm sorry.

I'm giving it away.

I'm looking at it here on the card and I'm-- no, never mind.

MANNY GORDON: You're talking French right now, owe.

I'm talking French, owe.

That's right.

No, I'm kidding.

I'm only kidding.

I'm only kidding.

I don't know what I'm talking.

Let's go to the next question.

ANNOUNCER: Some of the earliest fish fossils and vertebrates ever found have been unearthed in Perry County.

In fact, the oldest living thing in Pennsylvania, possibly the oldest protoplasm in the world, can be found growing near New Bloomfield, Perry County.

Is it, A, a white pine.

B, an eastern hemlock.

C, a box huckleberry.

Or, D, a Jerusalem oak.

LYNN CULLEN: I see.

I saw what's the oldest living thing in Pennsylvania at the top of my little card and I thought it's me, it's me.

No, it's me.

It's me.

OK, yeah, Manny actually.

You look like you got a year or two off.

Maybe it's Manny, but you're not one of the choices.

You got to-- actually, all those choices are things that maybe a forester would know about.

I don't know.

But, Peg, we're coming to you first for your response.

Well, I said B because having seen a very, very old hemlock in Alan Seeger Forest, over 100 years old, I hoped that was it.

In fact, well, may your hopes be realized.

Manny.

C, a box huckleberry because it's about 7,000 years old.

And it isn't a tree, it's more just like a vine deal.

But-- PEG FRENCH: Where did he come from?

LYNN CULLEN: I don't know where he came from.

OK, go again.

MANNY GORDON: The botanist come here from all parts of the world to see this.

It's in Bloomfield.

LYNN CULLEN: Oh, boy.

Kevin, it sounds like he knows what he's talking about again.

Unlike me, I have to pick a new letter so I chose B this time.

You chose B, the eastern hemlock, OK. From the way Manny was sounding, it sounds like you might have gone to C and been in better shape.

Manny, Manny, Manny, let's see.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, box huckleberry.

Many botanists believe that the box huckleberry bush in Perry County may be 13,000 years old.

Although it only spreads about six inches per year, the root system of this shrub now covers approximately 100 acres.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, the score, Manny, not surprisingly, is in the lead.

But it's a tight game.

Manny has three, Kevin two, and Peg one.

[applause] And your second clue for our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

He honed his craft at the Comedy Store and Second City improvisational workshops as a stand-up comic before becoming somewhat of a superhero.

Huh, born Michael Douglas in Koriopolis in 1951.

He honed his craft at the Comedy Store and Second City as a stand-up comic before becoming somewhat of a superhero.

Who is this mystery Pennsylvanian?

He might be a mystery to you.

We will tell you at the end of the game who in fact he is.

And let's move on to our next regular question.

ANNOUNCER: Approximately 2,440 Lustron homes were built between 1947 and 1949, making them a rather unique American home.

The houses are found in the Eastern 2/3 of the US, as well as Alaska and Venezuela.

There are 116 known Lustron homes in Pennsylvania.

What is the Lustron home?

Is it, A, a futuristic house designed by Buckminster Fuller.

B, a stress-skin prefabricated home.

C, a general electric house which featured futuristic lighting.

Or, D, a porcelain enamel steel home.

LYNN CULLEN: All righty, all righty, what is that Lustron home?

Sounds like a kind of carpet, doesn't it?

Lovely Lustron carpet throughout.

Manny, what do you think that Lustron house?

I sort of guessed C. I really don't know.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. My gosh, he really doesn't know for a change.

How about you, Kevin?

Gee, I went with C, so.

LYNN CULLEN: Why don't I understand any of this stuff?

Peg, go ahead.

I went with C. And I feel better knowing that Manny did that too.

[laughs] LYNN CULLEN: OK, well, let's see.

We got a C, a C, a C. Let's see if they know what they're talking about.

The answer is D, a porcelain enamel steel home built in Columbus, Ohio.

The Lustron home was built to meet the housing needs of returning veterans and young Americans right after World War II.

Low cost and durable, the Lustron was made of steel inside and out.

No wood was used in its manufacture.

Production delays and political opposition forced the manufacturers to go out of business.

But most of the Lustron homes erected during the brief life of the company still exist today.

At least 116 are scattered throughout Pennsylvania.

Just thinking how would you like to be in a steel house during a hailstorm, ayayai, yayai.

Oh, look at this next one.

And on his farm, he had some cows, 1,600 of them in fact.

It is an Old MacDonald, but take a look.

ANNOUNCER: There are 13,000 dairy farmers in Pennsylvania, each with an average herd of 60 cows.

But a new mega dairy in Pennsylvania which went online in 1992 can accommodate 1,600 cows, and is regarded as the most technically advanced dairy operation in the country.

In what County will you find this high tech dairy operation?

Is it, A, Lancaster County.

B, Lycoming County.

C, Franklin County.

Or, D, Huntington County.

LYNN CULLEN: All righty, all right.

Hold on, let's get down.

And, Kevin, what do you think?

I'm guessing again.

I feel like an utter failure, but I'm going to go with Franklin County.

OK, we'll move on before they lynch you onto Peg.

PEG FRENCH: I said Lancaster County.

Seems like a cow country, what the heck.

MANNY GORDON: I said Lycoming County.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. We have a C, we have an A, we have a B.

Call a taxi, someone, we've got a cab.

Let's find out what the real answer is.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is D, Huntington County.

Holy cow, that's how many people react to our Wayne Harpster Evergreen farms dairy complex located in Spruce Creek, Huntington County.

The new mega dairy has accommodations for 1,600 Holsteins, a milking parlor so automated and efficient that three people can handle 320 cows an hour.

That's 80 at a time.

And in full production will produce nearly 12,000 gallons of milk per day.

Yes, yes, yes, how utterly fascinating.

Let's mooove on the ballpark to our next question.

ANNOUNCER: The first game in the history of the Florida Marlins Baseball Organization was played not in Florida, but in Pennsylvania on June 15, 1992.

Where was that game played?

Was it, A, Williamsport.

B, Scranton.

C, Erie.

Or, D, Reading.

LYNN CULLEN: Strange the Florida Marlins playing in any of those places.

But where did they play?

Williamsport, Scranton, Erie, or Reading?

Are you ready, Peg?

I said Williamsport.

LYNN CULLEN: For no particular reason.

I was hoping it was Little League.

[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: Peg, it isn't Little League, whatever.

MANNY GORDON: They play like a Little League sometimes.

LYNN CULLEN: Manny, what do you think?

I know it wasn't Scranton so I guessed Reading.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, he guessed Reading.

Everybody's guessing.

You guessing too, Kevin?

KEVIN NELSON: I guessed Reading also.

LYNN CULLEN: You guessed Reading also.

Oh, D A D. Now we've spelled dad.

Let's see if that means anything.

I don't know.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, Erie.

The Erie Sailors, the first farm team ever to play for the Florida Marlins lost six to five to the Jamestown Expos in 13 innings.

The game was played before an overflow crowd at Ainsworth field in Erie, Pennsylvania.

The Florida Marlins played their first National League game in 1993.

LYNN CULLEN: Yes, I hear that music and I know it's our time for our final, final and third mystery Pennsylvanian clue.

You got to get it on this one.

He shares the same last name, though has no blood relation, with a famous female movie star.

Shares the same last name with a famous female movie star.

He was born in '51 in Coraopolis as Michael Douglas.

And he was a stand-up comic before becoming somewhat of a superhero.

How are you doing at home?

You know who this guy is?

I do.

Of course I got it right here, but I know who he is.

Manny, you look like you don't know who he is.

Well, I'm going to try Kelly.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, who do you have there?

Show us.

Show us your a little-- Oh, I tried three different stars here.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, you started with who?

I started with Perry Como, James Stewart, now I got Kelly down.

LYNN CULLEN: Gene Kelly.

Gene Kelly.

LYNN CULLEN: Well, I think you're just in the-- he was born in 1951 I said.

Oh my god, again, again.

[laughter] You got to listen more closely.

But he'll love me for that.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.

[laughter] Kevin.

Well, I got some help in the green room.

I had too much iced tea and now I have to go to the bathroom.

And I think-- LYNN CULLEN: Superhero was your clue.

Michael Keaton, Michael Keaton.

Peg.

It was the last name, like the stars.

I said Michael Keaton.

LYNN CULLEN: OK. And you two got it on the second one.

And-- Well, I thought-- You were more sure of yourself on the third.

I wasn't sure.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, Michael Keaton.

Well, you hang out with all these guys, hugging Tom Hanks and all that.

MANNY GORDON: I knew Diane Keaton but I couldn't figure-- Oh, yeah, right, aha.

Let's find out if Michael Keaton is in fact our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

ANNOUNCER: Actor Michael Keaton was born in Coraopolis in 1951.

And he has a number of hit movies to his credit.

He's probably best known for his portrayal of the caped crusader in Batman and Batman Returns.

Keaton landed his first television job in the early 1970s as a grip on the popular children's program Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood where he also made several minor appearances.

But he really launched his career performing in local coffee houses while supporting himself by driving a cab and an ice cream truck.

Later he moved to LA where he honed his craft as a stand-up comic with a comedy club in the second city improvisational workshops.

His movies include Night Shift, Mr.

Mom, Bettlejuice, The Dream Team, and Pacific Heighs, to name a few.

Michael Keaton, a famous Pennsylvanian.

Yeah.

His whole family is still in the Pittsburgh area.

He comes home often because he's a major Pittsburgh Penguin fan.

MANNY GORDON: Is that right?

Yeah.

And a Pirate fan and all of that.

And he's very active in the Pittsburgh community.

He couldn't use the name Michael Douglas because Kirk Douglas, his son Michael Douglas, was already using that name.

And I guess you can't use a name that somebody else has already registered with the union.

Is that true, Peg?

PEG FRENCH: That's right.

That's the way it works.

That's really strange.

Well, here's who won.

Manny, although you were ahead the whole time, coming up with Gene Kelly and Jimmy Stewart sort of did you in at the end.

And Kevin surged from behind to take the lead with one whole point.

You have four, you have a two, and you have three.

A very close game.

[applause] And Kevin, you are going to get a prize.

This is something new on the Pennsylvania Game.

You're going to get a Penn pack that's filled with products made in Pennsylvania.

That's great.

And maybe you'll share some of them with us.

My parents live in Florida.

And I've sent them down for Christmas, but I've never had one.

Well, here you have your very own.

And I thank you all.

You've been a great panel.

Thank you so much.

It's been a lot of fun.

You are an exuberant wonderful audience.

Thank you.

Hope you had fun playing at home along with us.

And I hope you'll join us next week when we play, once again, The Pennsylvania Game.

[applause] ANNOUNCER: The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Unimarts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

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

Unimarts, more than a convenience store, and by the Pennsylvania Public Television Network.

FEMALE: Meals and lodging for contestants of the Pennsylvania Game provided by the Nittany Lion Inn located on Penn State's University Park campus.

[audience clapping] [music playing]
