How does a guy live to be 73 years old and never mention to any of his 6 children that he was on a tv show with Mickey Mantle?
On the other hand I ran into Mickey Mantle in a bar in North Dallas 40 years ago and I chatted with him for a few minutes. He never mentioned being on a tv show with my father, so I guess that evens the score.
$40 was probably a week's pay.

You should update the Wiki entry. It said the contestants start with USD$25 and play USD$5 per time. Appears Copper's dad started with USD$30 and played USD$10 each time. LOL

I understand your dad. I have never told my son that I met one Prime Minister, drank beer with another and later time met with Gorbachev. Nor that I had coffee with
h B.B. King either. But that’s another story.The real event though was getting Johnny MacKenzie, Johnny Bucyk and Fred Stanfield to sign my colour inserts from *Hockey World * while they were trying to have lunch in the local mall.
Elbows up!

Copper, that is very cool.

Wow! How wonderful! edit to add - your dad seemed to be a little bit of a no-nonsense type of guy…

I’m more interested to hear from bach whether Elvis mentioned that B. B. King had coffee with him as well.
