ANNOUNCER: Why did it take Carolyn Swanson 58 days to bury her husband?

Harry Stiff of Lancaster County was so passionate about his job that he was known to take on work for free.

What was he?

It's time to play The Pennsylvania Game.

[applause] [music playing] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Uni-Mart Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.

Uni-Mart, more than a convenience store.

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

Here's the queen talk radio and our hostess with the mostest, Lynn Cullen.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, all.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What a warm welcome.

However, the show sounds a little bleak today.

Women burying husbands, guys name's Stiff.

No, they look alive, the panel, at least.

Let's find out if they're Stiffs or not.

Let's meet our panel.

Dinty Moore.

It's his real name.

Don't ask.

He was born in Erie, and he's sort of a Renaissance man.

He's been a modern dancer.

He's breakfasted with Princess Grace.

He's written for The New York Times.

He's now working on a book about Buddhism in the American heartland.

Welcome, Dinty Moore.

Thank you.

[applause] And next to Dinty, we have Anne Grosser from Saint Mary's.

She and her husband owned and operated a children's clothing store for nearly 34 years.

And Anne is Her Honor, the Mayor of Saint Mary's.

Welcome.

[applause] A familiar face next to anyone who's watched The Pennsylvania Game Kevin Nelson, and it's always good to see him.

He sounds the wake-up call weekday mornings on WRC radio in State College, Kevin of the Kevin and Scott in the Morning show for the past seven years.

He's also been teaching radio production at Penn State.

Hi, Kevin.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

[applause] I don't know.

You figure if you die, you finally get the government off your back, but apparently, it's not so.

Here's the first question.

ANNOUNCER: In 1994, George Swanson of North Huntingdon sadly passed away.

It took his wife, Caroline, 58 days before she received permission to bury him.

Was it because, A, he was radioactive, B, the family burial plot was declared a wetland, C, he wanted to be buried in his Corvette, or D, his body emitted toxic levels of ammonia-like fumes?

LYNN CULLEN: Good heavens.

Whatever it was, it was weird.

The three of you have to figure out what it was and plug in your answers.

What was he?

OK, Dinty, we're coming to you first.

What'd you pick?

C. If I had a Corvette, I'd want to be buried in it.

Well, that's nice to know.

But we aren't going to get you a Corvette because I don't want to bury you quite yet.

How's it about you there, darling?

What do you think?

Am I already pushed?

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, you're pushed.

I hope you're pushed.

Well, I took C. But you can't change your mind?

LYNN CULLEN: No.

OK. LYNN CULLEN: You want to change your mind, but you cannot change your mind.

You pick C, too.

I'm C. Oh, boy.

We have two Corvettes.

C for Corvette.

Come on, Kevin.

Well, the reason it took so long was she needed a layaway plan.

They didn't-- LYNN CULLEN: The bad puns start now.

I thought it was also C. I thought I remembered reading about this.

He wanted to actually be buried in the Corvette, and there were zoning problems or something.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Well, here we have it.

Off to a start of unanimity among our panelists.

Don't worry, it won't last.

C, C, C. A Corvette, they say.

Let's see.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, to be buried in his Corvette.

[applause] On March 29, 1994, George Swanson died of congestive heart failure.

His wife, Caroline, sought permission from the Pennsylvania State Department of Environmental Resources to fulfill his last wish, which was to be buried in his Corvette.

On May 25th, George Swanson's car was buried in four plots at Brush Creek Cemetery, with an urn on the driver's seat containing his ashes, his favorite summer and winter hats, and a lap robe made by the women of his Lutheran church.

Well, there you have it, Dinty, in his Corvette.

And by the way, a huge concrete slab was put on top of the grave because they were fearful of grave robbers.

In this case, someone wanting the Corvette.

Someone like Dinty, perhaps.

[laughter] All right, moving on to our next question, from the late George Swanson to a question about another Stiff.

[music playing] ANNOUNCER: An 1880 book on physiognomy describes the life and times of Harry Stiff, who, at the age of 30, found his true calling in life.

In fact, the Lancaster County resident was so passionate about his work that he was known to do for free, what typically earned him $0.50 per job.

Was Harry Stiff, A, dentist, B, a portrait artist, C, a grave digger, or D, a lady's hairstylist.

LYNN CULLEN: [laughs] Well, I can't imagine.

Who comes up with these questions?

That's what I-- that's my question.

Who comes up with these questions?

We'd like to meet them.

Was he a dentist?

Was he a portrait artist?

Was he a grave digger or a ladies hair stylist?

I can think of a lot of hair stylists I'd like to see six feet under people who have had their way with me, so to speak.

Are we all done?

OK, how about it, Anne?

I took B, a portrait artist.

LYNN CULLEN: B, a portrait artist?

Yeah.

LYNN CULLEN: Any particular reason?

Well, I thought he probably was doing that, getting warmed up to things and then pretty soon-- LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, one thing led to another.

Yeah, one thing led to another.

I'm not following this at all.

[laughter] Kevin.

Well, I don't think you'd go to a dentist for free, really.

And grave digger-- portrait, I don't know.

A lady's hair stylist-- LYNN CULLEN: Why?

Maybe this will start a permanent trend.

I don't know.

Oh, all right.

Yes, thank you.

Boo loudly, please.

[booing] Thank you.

Thank you.

Dinty go.

I have no idea.

So I picked A. LYNN CULLEN: A.

So we have a dentist.

We have a portrait artist, and we have a ladies' hair stylist.

But do we have a correct answer?

Hmm.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, grave digger.

According to Samuel R. Wells's book on physiognomy, on the art of judging temperament and character by outward appearance, Harry Stiff was described as both a glutton and a drunkard and being exceedingly loathsome in person.

He was an occupant of outhouses, dog kennels, poorhouse, and lockup for nearly half of his life.

According to Wells's account, Harry showed no aptness or taste for anything in particular until about age 30, when he developed a passion for digging graves.

In fact, whenever Stiff heard that someone was critically ill, he would call and solicit the job of digging the grave.

And so strong was his love of grave digging that if they thought his fee of $0.50 too high, he would dig the grave for free.

This mania lasted Stiff until his death at the age of 50.

What a wonderful guy.

Do it for free.

Can you imagine seeing him knocking on your door?

It would scare you.

Stiff, I wonder if that's what that came from.

I don't know.

Hey, let's get to meet these guys a little more.

Dinty Moore.

It's your real name.

I'm not even going to get into it, but I'm interested in Buddhism in the heartland.

Buddhism?

What, in an Iowa cornfield?

Well, there's a Buddhist Zendo in Iowa City.

There's a meditation retreat center in High View, West Virginia.

There's another Buddhist center in Floyds Knob, Indiana.

Suddenly, there's always been Buddhists in New York and San Francisco, and suddenly, it's coming all across the country.

At the same time, you see Buddhist monks on Nike commercials and Gatorade commercials.

At the same time, everybody's learning to breathe, to relax, all these various ways that this 4000-year-old Eastern religion is making a creeping into American pop culture.

Right.

Richard Gere.

Richard Gere.

Richard Gere.

I might take up Buddhism-- DINTY MOORE: Uma Thurman's father is a Buddhist monk.

Is he really?

Good heavens.

Anne, Your Honor.

ANNE GROSSER: Yes.

How did you get into politics for heaven's sake?

What are you, nuts?

[laughter] Well, I stumbled into it.

I just stumbled into it.

A man came to my door one night who was out trying to recruit candidates for the upcoming primary election.

And he wanted some names.

And he asked me if I knew of anybody.

And I just said, yeah, you're looking at one.

LYNN CULLEN: And that was that.

And that was the beginning.

It was accidental.

It was.

You hadn't meant to say that.

ANNE GROSSER: No.

You were possessed at the time.

Kevin, someone told me, this is unbelievable, that you have taken up what?

Computer golf?

Now, what does that mean?

You don't want to break a sweat, obviously.

No.

Well, I try the real game, too, but that's too ugly to talk about.

But this is-- you take the shot by clicking the mouse.

But there's course management and knowing how the greens break.

And I just want a trophy.

LYNN CULLEN: You did?

Yeah.

ANNE GROSSER: Good for you.

LYNN CULLEN: OK, for what?

Golfer of the Season on American online.

[laughter] As usual, it's just another string of things that I have a talent for that do me no good whatsoever.

LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, of course.

That's a lot of fun.

Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to play through because we have another game going here.

Very impressive.

Let's get another question.

ANNOUNCER: Elizabeth (Gray) Vining was born in Philadelphia shortly after the turn of the century.

A Quaker widow and well-known writer of children's books, she established a rare relationship with the Japanese.

Was Vining, A, Crown Prince Akihito's tutor?

B, the first American children's author permitted to market her books in Japan?

C, the first person to establish a Quaker church in Japan?

Or, D, the first foreigner sanctioned to teach karate to Americans?

LYNN CULLEN: Interesting.

Elizabeth (Gray) Vining.

What is her connection to Japan?

Was she Crown Prince Akihito's tutor?

He is now the emperor, I believe.

The first American children's author permitted to market there?

She established a Quaker church, or did she teach karate?

Do we have everybody logged in?

Because Kevin, I'm coming to you.

I'm gonna feel my oats here and say the Quaker church.

Choice C. OK, you see her as a Quaker in Japan.

Kelvin.

I think she established a-- Dinty.

I think she established a Quaker meeting in Japan.

LYNN CULLEN: You do?

And you guys are getting dull here.

Now, if you say that too, Anne-- I said it.

C. LYNN CULLEN: You are kidding.

[chuckles] Quaker, Quaker, Quaker?

Quaker.

LYNN CULLEN: Quaker, Quaker, Quaker?

Well, guess what?

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

[laughter] Let's get the right answer.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is A. Elizabeth (Gray) Vining was appointed English tutor to Crown Prince Akihito from 1946 to 1950.

She was hired by Emperor Hirohito with the approval of General Douglas A. MacArthur.

Vining, who was the first foreigner permitted in the living quarters of the imperial palace and the only foreigner to attend Akihito's wedding, later remembered him as a sad and lonely boy who led a dull and restricted life.

According to a former classmate, it was Vining who, quote, "opened Akihito's eyes and helped to instill him with democratic and liberal values.

In her 1970 autobiography, Quiet Pilgrimage, Vining, who turned 92 in 1994, wrote, "The promise that I had seen in the child had been fulfilled in the young man.

My, my.

Something sad there, but interesting nonetheless.

Let's see what the score is at this point.

My heavens.

It figures.

These guys think alike, and the score is the same.

One, one, one.

Now, somebody needs to break away from the pack.

Maybe this is how we'll do it.

[applause] This is what I meant.

Maybe the Mystery Pennsylvanian will separate you somewhat.

This is your first clue.

I will give you three during the course of the program.

You get this right on the first time, you get three whole points at the end of the game.

Second time, two points.

Last time one point.

Here is your first clue for The Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1906, he was groomed by his Russian-immigrant Jewish parents to become a concert pianist.

So who wasn't?

All of the Jewish Russian immigrant parents wanted their kids to be concert pianists.

What was that year?

LYNN CULLEN: 1906.

Born in Pittsburgh in '06, he was groomed by his Russian Jewish immigrant parents to become a concert pianist.

Who is he?

Who was he?

If you know, write it down.

Dinty is scribbling, and our other two contestants are looking befuddled.

Let's continue to befuddle you.

OK, let's give you another question.

ANNOUNCER: What did Andrew Carnegie establish in 1904 in the wake of the Harwick, Pennsylvania, coal mine explosion that claimed 179 lives?

Was it, A, a trade school, B, a heroes fund, C, a miners museum, or D, a life insurance company?

LYNN CULLEN: Hmm.

What did Carnegie establish?

A trade school, a hero's fund, a miner's museum, or a life insurance company?

Dinty, we're coming to you on this one.

I read somewhere that he bought hoagies for everybody at the-- all the rescue people, so I'll say a hero's fund.

A hero's fund.

And he did buy hoagies, I'm sure.

Good heavens.

Anne.

Anne?

A trade school.

He didn't want any more accidents and things going wrong, and so he established a trade school for educational purposes.

You sound very sure of yourself.

I'm glad to hear it, and I'm glad to see at least we have some difference here in the panel.

Kevin.

Well, he had money, I think, that guy.

And he knew it would be like to go without money.

And after a bad problem, you wouldn't have any money unless he had insurance.

So he started a life insurance company.

Of course.

LYNN CULLEN: I followed that whole thing.

I wonder if that means I'm going mad.

Well, at least we have B, A, D, "BAD."

And "BAD" ain't bad because they're finally off on their own turf.

Let's see if any of them got it right.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, a heroes fund.

[applause] The Harwick, Pennsylvania, coal mine explosion that killed 179 people tragically claimed two more lives during rescue attempts.

Those acts of heroism inspired Andrew Carnegie to act on his long-held belief that the true heroes of civilization are those who save or greatly serve their fellow human beings.

But the very first Carnegie hero award was given to Louis A. Borman Jr, a 17-year-old laborer who, on July 17th, 1904, saved a boy from drowning in sulfur pond near Wilkinsburg.

Baumann accepted the bronze medal and a letter he wrote to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, which read, in part, "My father learned me to swim when I was eight years old, and I think every boy should learn to swim.

Then, they would not be scared in danger, the same as I went through."

To date, the commission has awarded nearly $21 million to heroes or their survivors.

[music playing] Yeah, all parents should learn their children to swim.

Carnegie went on to establish 10 similar heroes funds in Western Europe, including his native Scotland.

Are we ready for another question?

I am.

Let's do it.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: A number of streets in downtown Philadelphia are named for trees, Walnut, Chestnut, and Spruce, for example.

What is the major theme of street names in South Philly?

Is it, A, Civil War heroes, B, Pennsylvania governors, C, orchids, or D, US presidents?

[music playing] LYNN CULLEN: Well, none of these guys are from Philly, as far as I know, so this might be a question of some difficulty.

What is it?

Civil War heroes, Pennsylvania governors, orchids, or US presidents?

Pennsylvania streets, South Philly, specifically-- Anne, what's your answer?

Well, I took governors, Pennsylvania governors.

LYNN CULLEN: Why not?

Why not?

LYNN CULLEN: Why not?

Why and why not?

Go for it.

LYNN CULLEN: Kevin, why not Pennsylvania governors?

Well, I've driven some of those streets, and I don't remember the names, but I remember they were crooked.

And that led me to US president.

[laughter] Or Pennsylvania governors, for that matter.

Hey, Dinty.

Well, I never drove on Casey or Sharp Street, but I think there's a Grant Street, so I went with Civil War heroes.

OK, with Civil War heroes and us presidents.

We're all over the board again.

Let's find out with the correct answer is.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is B, Pennsylvania governors.

Most of the streets in South Philadelphia are named after former chief executives of the State.

As an unwritten rule, streets running from Mifflin Street South are named for governors and succeeding order.

For no apparent reason, only two governors in the history of Pennsylvania have been omitted from the street naming process, Joseph Hiester and John A. Shulze.

Meanwhile, in North Philadelphia, major streets are named for Pennsylvania counties, such as Clearfield and Lehigh.

OK, now Anne, you pushed D. You said B.

We're giving you credit for it anyway.

Oh, I did?

Yeah, that's OK. Well, we're forgiving folks here.

We also want to thank James Drisella of Temple University.

He sent us that question.

He'll be receiving a year's subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine as a result.

Let's look at the score one more time, check what's happened in the intervening moments.

Well, a little bit's happened.

We, in fact, have a tie for first, Dinty and Anne.

[applause] --with Kevin hot on their tails.

And time now for the second clue to The Mystery Pennsylvanian.

America's favorite neurotic, he chain-smoked, drank 40 cups of coffee a day, and hated his stays in the psychiatric ward because he depressed other patients.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1906, he was groomed by his Russian-Jewish immigrant parents to be a concert pianist.

He became known as America's favorite neurotic, chain-smoking, drinking 40 cups of coffee a day and ending up in psychiatric wards, where he depressed all these-- the other patients.

Don't get depressed if you don't have it yet.

We'll have another clue for you before it's all over.

Let's get another question, though.

[music playing] ANNOUNCER: In the 1870s, one industry was so widespread in Pennsylvania that each County had at least one.

In fact, there were once more than 500 of these shops across the State.

Today, only two remain.

Are they, A, blacksmiths, B, sawmills, C, sole leather tanneries, or D, wagon wheel coopers?

LYNN CULLEN: OK, there you have it.

There was one in every county.

Now, there's only what?

He said two?

--in the entire State.

Blacksmiths, sawmill, tannery, or wagon wheel coopers?

It's happening to us now.

Some of us have professions that will be gone soon enough.

It's frightening.

Kevin, what did you choose?

For no apparent reason, sole leather tanneries.

LYNN CULLEN: For no apparent reason?

All right.

Usually, you're right when you do that.

I've decided when I have no idea, I'll vote A, so I voted A. LYNN CULLEN: OK, you went with the blacksmiths, although there's some of those around because I've talked to some.

Anne?

I went for C because we used to have a tannery in our town, and that's long gone, and I'm sure it's gone in many areas.

So I took C. I've never even seen a tannery myself.

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, sole leather tanneries.

[applause] In the early 1870s, every County in Pennsylvania had at least one tannery.

The State's abundant hemlock trees were an important source of tannin used in the leather industry.

As Pennsylvania's population grew, so did the tanning industry.

At the peak of production, there were approximately 500 tanneries in the State.

But by the early 1900s, most tanneries were forced out of business because of foreign competition and the great number of shoes being made with rubber soles.

Today, Westfield Tanning Company in Westfield, Tioga County, and the Howe's Leather Company in Curwensville, Clearfield County, are the only two sole leather tanneries remaining.

[music playing] Well, and just so there's no confusion, and not to quibble with the voice of God who speaks to us on those answers, but there are actually six tanneries remaining in Pennsylvania, but only two of them are sole leather tanneries, which is a distinction that I would never make because I don't understand what the difference is between sole leather and any other leather.

What do you think?

They make the soles of shoes out of that leather.

Yeah, well, I can figure that much.

I know it's S-O-L-E.

It's not about fish or something.

Let's go to another question, please.

[upbeat music] ANNOUNCER: In October 1993, Governor Casey appointed Samuel Hazo, a professor of English at Duquesne University, to a two-year honorary position.

It was the State's first appointment of its kind.

Was Hazo named, A, the first state poet, B, the official government grammarian, C, the state's Shakespeare specialist, or D, the state's director of signage?

LYNN CULLEN: Good heavens.

What is Sam Hazo?

Is he the state poet?

The government grammarian?

A Shakespeare specialist for the State, or the state's director of signage?

[laughs] And why do we need any of those things?

Hello, Dinty.

Hello, I think we need poets very much, so for no rhyme or reason, I picked A.

Very good.

He's been hanging out with Kevin too long.

He's starting to make puns.

Anne, hello.

Well, hello.

I went with D, the state's director of signage, because we have so many, many signs.

Yes, and a lot of them misleading, I might say.

Yeah, the wrong way.

Yeah, Kevin?

I think it was part of when they were trying to make government more accountable and understandable.

And I think he was the government grammarian.

Choice B. Oh, well.

Love you, guys.

You're all over the place one more time, and only one of you is correct.

Let's find out.

ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, the first State poet.

[applause] [upbeat music] Samuel Hazo, the founder and director of the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, was named the first state poet in a ceremony at the State Museum in Harrisburg.

As State Poet, he is responsible for making poetry a more integral part of the daily lives of Pennsylvanians through live presentations to schools, universities, and other public institutions, as well as through radio and television appearances.

Whoa!

Wait, wait.

That must be our final clue for The Mystery Pennsylvanian.

This is your last chance.

If you don't have it this time, well, you're in trouble.

Celebrated in the 1940s for his work on radio and in the movies, he was most famous for playing George Gershwin compositions.

OK, America's favorite neurotic.

He chain-smoked, drank 40 cups of coffee a day.

My stomach recoils at the thought, and hated his days in psychiatric wards because he depressed the other patients.

Born in 1906, Pittsburgh, Russian-Jewish immigrants.

I can repeat this over and over, ad nauseam.

I suppose you either know it or you don't know it.

And Kevin saying, I do know it, but I don't care yet about you.

I care only about Anne at this point.

And Anne doesn't-- Know it.

Know it.

Anne doesn't know it.

Well, oh.

A blank.

A blank.

She drew a blank.

I'm a blank.

That's OK. Anne, you're not a blank, but you're board certainly is.

And what about you?

I didn't get it on the piano clue, but neurotic, famous neurotic, an important role model of mine, Oscar Levant.

I remember seeing him on the Jack Paar show a lot.

I recall seeing him on the Jack Paar show, too, and wondering what is wrong with that poor man.

He was twitching and tweaking.

And what about you, Dinty?

I always wanted to be on Jeopardy!

and draw pictures, so I said Oscar Levant and drew a picture.

You did?

It doesn't look much like them, I must say.

Started with Fred Astaire and ended up with Oscar Levant.

And both of our gentlemen panelists did get Oscar Levant on the second guess, but is that who The Mystery Pennsylvanian is?

KEVIN NELSON: Of course.

Of course.

DINTY MOORE: Of course.

ANNOUNCER: Oscar Levant, the concert pianist, TV personality, and sometimes supporting actor in films, was born in Pittsburgh in 1906.

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, he was groomed to be a concert pianist.

By the 1940s, he was the highest-paid concert artist in the United States.

The chain-smoking, neurotic, and self-professed genius became George Gershwin's protege.

But after years of playing in dance bands, he turned his attentions to working in Hollywood.

He composed film scores and songs and eventually got into acting on the big screen.

Noted for his scathing wit and self-deprecating repartee, Levant suffered from mental problems late in his life, which landed him in and out of mental hospitals until his death in 1972.

Oscar Levant, a famous Pennsylvanian!

[upbeat music] Well, there you have it.

I stand corrected.

He says, "Levant."

I always thought it was "Levant" myself, but that is the guy.

And he used to be on the Jack Paar show, do you remember that?

--and twitching and tweaking.

But I guess we should find out who won since that was our last-- let's see.

The suspense is killing me.

Why?

Dinty Moore has won the game!

[cheering, applause] Congratulations, sir.

Post-game, guys.

The lead changing hands many times, just the way we like to see it.

Kevin, if it makes you feel better, you're only one off.

Anne, just one behind that.

Two.

So you guys were great.

That was wonderful.

Jack Paar, was there where you saw him?

You said Jack?

I heard about it on NPR.

You heard about him on NPR?

[laughs] Kevin, are we showing our age or something?

He is trying to say, I think, he's not old enough to remember Jack Paar.

Yeah, that's what I think he is trying to say.

And I think we had a meeting in the parking lot later.

I don't like that.

Did you notice, by the way, that lots of these questions because I said earlier in the show, "Who dreams up these questions?"

It turns out you do.

You sadistic people, you.

And if you do have a good question that we haven't come up with ourselves, how about sending them this way.

You see the address on your screen.

Just send it to The Pennsylvania Game, 214.

Is that a 14?

Yeah, Wagner Annex, University Park, PA, 16802.

And Dinty, we are going to present you with this-- Corvette.

--huge, not a Corvette.

Forget about it.

Oi, oi, ooh, geez.

What?

Yo.

Oh my heavens!

What is that?

Why?

It's from our Italian friends in Tipton, PA. A handsome and extremely heavy gift pack, compliments of Del Grosso Foods.

Grazzia to Del Grosso.

But I'm suing you for the hernia, I think, I just got or whatever.

I think I might third-- hey, listen, thank you.

You guys were fun.

Thank you.

Can I have a little bit of that one?

I like that.

And you were fun.

ANNE GROSSER: It is nice being here.

You guys, thank you.

And thank you, too.

Join us next time on The Pennsylvania Game.
