My Dad was seven years old and the year was 19CB.
He and his sister Katherine were 'twins' except that
she was seven years older than he was, even though
her birthday was the same day as his.
This day, he and Katherine had been given the
privilege of going with Fred, my grandfather, to the
Babbitt Trading Pest in Flagstaff, in the Arizona Terri-
tory. When thec-Indians came into Flagstaff, they were
stopped at the outskirts and made to pit on longjohn
underwear, because their usual costume was simply
a breechclout and moccasins. They all came to trade
at Babbitts, and this morning was no exception.
This particular day, my Dad was looking at the rifles
and shotguns in the Trading post and Katherine had
walked over to the thick belts of material in all sizes
and colors. She was '^parking" with Al Kelly. (In these
days, '^parking" was equivalent to a firet date now. It
could go on for several years before a wedding date
was set.) She was tall and slender, andher golden yellow
hair was braided in two thick braids down her back.
It had never been cut very much and reached below
her waist. She wanted a new dress today.
My Dad noticed that this tall Indian had been staring
at Katherine, and regardless of his longjohns, he seemed
to be a kingly figure. As Charley Babbitt was checking
their purchases, the man beckoned to him. Charley
went over, and after a few minutes of intense conver-
sation came about the counter and faced Fred with a
large grin. 'This Indian will offer you twenty ponies
for your squaw with the yellow hair."
Fred turned to stare at the man for a long moment
and then turned back to Charley. "Tell him, she'is
worth at least forty ponies!
Charley relayed the message, and then the Indian
turned to Fred, and the two men silently stared and
then the Indian inclined his head to Fred and turned
to walk cut of the store.
My Dad was relieved. He had, for a moment,
been sure that Fred wouldn't accept the offer of
twenty panes.
Katherine had net been consulted.
Do you have anyone worth forty ponies?

MR. EXCITEMENT
PAUL AURANDT
****'/*, r? )
PAUL HARVEY'S
(c) 1984, Los Angeles Times Syndicate
They may have called Harvey Miller "Mr. Excitement"
but unfortunately, only in fun. Miller was in fact one
of the least exciting people he could think of.
In school the girls had described him as "nice." And
there were worse things girls could say about you, he
supposed. But deep down Harvey Miller, longed—
if only for one evening—to be really, truly, terribly,
romantically exciting.
Then cue day his opportunity came.
In 1970 Harvey Miller was a semi-struggling young
comedy writer. So when he learned that the ABC game
show 'The Dating Game" was paying contestants $750
each, win or lose, he jumped at the chance to become
a contestant.
You remember "The Dating Game" of course—one
young woman and three young men, separated by a stage
partition. The wanan would ask each of the men questions
and based on their answers, without ever seeing them, she
would choose cne to accompany her on an all-expense paid
"dream date." At any rate....
There was Harvey Miller, trying to look suave for the
show's casting personneL 'Mr. Excitement" fooled no one.
But he was accepted anyway.
Then 'The Dating Game" staff told him THE REST OF
THE STORY. . . .
He was to be Bachelor Number Two. The man already
signed to appear as Bachelor Number one was nene other
than Lee Grosscup—pro football quarterback for the New
York Giants-a big hulking, handsome, professional athlete!
Oh well, thought Miller, it was too late to back out
now. Anyway, seven hundred and fifty dollars was
seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Then came the day of the show. • •
The lady contestant happened to be a beautiful blonde
Hollywood starlet named Christine Schmidlerv Miller's
defeat would be all the more agonizing now.
One by one the bachelor contestants, concealed behind
the stage wall, were ntroduced by number and voice.
But Miller picked up on something—Christine's accent
—distinctly German!
Miller had been stationed in Germany during his hitch
in the Army, and he still remembered enough German to
make simple conversation. So when he was introduced as
Bachelor Number Two he said, 'Good Day my lady, how
goes it?" Only he said it in German!
The starlet giggled, obviously charmed.
And at once, a powerful feeling of confidence surged
through Miller. Summoning all his comedic wit he
dazzled the young actress with clever interjections and
lively answers to less than brilliant questions. At one
point he admonished a fellow contestant for being "rude
to my date') the audience roared. And when asked to
describe the bachelor to his left, Miller replied that Hitler
was not hiding in Argentina after all"!
And as by now surely you've guessed—Harvey Miller 'feot
the girl." He triumphed over nro quarterback Lee Grosscup.
He, unexciting Miller, suddenly exceptionally exciting,
was eagerly chosen by a gorgeous young Hollywood actress
to be her escort for the evening.
After a while Miller's professional struggles stopped as
well. In fact, it was this same Harvey Miller who wrote
and co-produced the original motion picture "Private.Ben-
jamin," for which he also received an Oscar nomination.
And still he lists among the greatest victories of his
entire life—that first shot at the spotlight back in 1970—
when he beat a big good-looking football player on
"The Dating Game" and won the lovely prize.
And Now you know. . •
Oh, by the way—quarterback Lee Grosscup was
Bachelor Number One—Harvey Miller was Bachelor
Number Two. Did I mention that Bachelor Number
Three—competing at the same time for the same girl—
was a 14 year old actor-named Burt Reynolds?
That's right—THE Burt Reynolds!
