I remember that my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. S., appeared on this show at one time. The show must must have been filming appearances in New York at one time, because our school was on Long Island and I know she could not afford to travel to Los Angeles.
Mrs. S. and her husband were deeply involved in missionary activities, and I believe that they were trying to build and stock with supplies a school for children in that particular area. She told us that according to rules in the program, she couldn't ask for money directly, but she could ask for things such as books, paper, pencils, and things like that. I don't think she won the show, but is been almost 60 years since then, so I may have forgotten.
The show would have been on during the 1963-1964 school year. It would be quite interesting to see it, because way back then, there were no video tapers or dvds for the home audience.
