Quick note from Ed, who appeared on IGaS

July 25th, 2010 by Tommy Gun

In 1954, (I believe that was the year), don’t remember what month, my first grade class was on I’ve Got A Secret, presenting a Thanksgiving Pageant. We had kids as pilgrims & Indians, some had speaking lines, some didn’t. There was one boy who was an Indian who wouldn’t take his shirt off. Garry Moore looked over & said, “Looks like we have an Indian with a cold chest”. I was that boy. After the show was over, all the kids were given presents, the girls got a doll & the boys got plastic Knight’s armor, shield, sword, chest plate & helmet.
Our teacher was Miss Macy. The school was Washington Elementary in Union Township, NJ (07083)

For those of you looking for official DVDs of I’ve Got a Secret, here’s another! Unfortunately it’s only two episodes, but it also has two episodes of Beat the Clock. According to a review, one of the IGaS episodes has Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, which means it must be this episode. If anyone owns this dvd, please post a description of the other episode in the comments.

New photo of Garry Moore

Just got this email:

Attached is a picture of my father and Gary Moore in 1956 when my father was on I Got a Secret. He is holding up 4 fingers because his secret was that he just had his 4th set of Twins. It is my understanding that no one guessed his secret.

Garry Moore excerpt in “Fear on Trial”

June 14th, 2009 by Tommy Gun

Sent in by John Moore:

Several years ago, I found an old copy of John Henry Faulk’s book “Fear On Trial,” which has several pages devoted to Garry Moore’s testimony in support of Mr. Faulk. I don’t have the book anymore, but you can read part of it at Google Books.

Thanks John!
