Starting school was traumatic for me—not because I missed my mommy or couldn’t remember which coat hook was mine, but because I knew I’d miss my beloved morning game shows. I spent my elementary school years perpetually pining for summer vacation, when I could catch up once again on Wheel of Fortune, The $20,000 Pyramid, and Family Feud. I was overjoyed in 1979 when my sister Gwyn was born: we were now a family of five—the exact perfect size for a Family Feud team!
