My mom used to watch Dialing for Dollars faithfully. So I have fond memories of the show and the Gernettes.
Fond memories of Howard and Rosemary, watching with my Grandma back in the early ’70s
I came home for lunch during grade school every day and watched this show with my mom. I think in the beginning they made 2 local calls in Milwaukee and one out of town call. We lived in Kenosha and I was always hopeful that they would call our house. Carly Simon said it best when she sung the song “anticipation “. Never won, but never disappointed in the show. Howard and Rosemary were wonderful to watch. I had to hurry back to school so I wasn’t late.
