Wasilla Woman
To Appear On
Hollywood TV Show
Mrs. Clinton Adcock of Wasilla
left Sunday evening for a very
exciting trip to Hollywood where
she will appear on the television
program “This Is Your Life”
which will feature the lifie of
Mike Fedder of Iowa, a former
neighbor of Mrs. Adcock.
Mrs. Adcock received word on
June 2 of a long distance tele
phone call from Hollywood.
“Don’t worry Mom”, advised son
Dan,” they probably just want
you on “Queen for a Day”. Not j
having a telephone Mrs. Adcock
decided to wait until morning to
contact the operator. However,
while attending an Auxiliary
meeting that evening she told of
her call and several friends offer
ed the use of their phones. In
minutes she was talking direct to
Hollywood and a voice asked if
she would be able to attend the
“This is Your Life” program to
be presented this week.
After an exciting week of pre
parations, Mrs. Adcock was on
her way Sunday. This was her
first airplane trip and she plans
to be gone about a week.
While in Hollywood Mrs. Ad
cock will be renewing her ac-,
quaintance with the program’s
featured guest. At the age of
seven jg>ars Mrs. Adcock fell out
of a tree. Mike Fedder was the
only help her mother could find
to take her to a doctor and this
and other events will probably
be recalled and discussed by the
former neighbors.
The Adcocks are homesteading
in the Fairview area. They have
one son and two daughters.
An amusing aspect of the trip
is being told by friends who ask
ed Mrs. Adcock if she was ner
vous about the event. ‘No”, she
answered, as she reached for
and cut up an apple. At the time
she was fixing a potato salad.
They tell also of their friend
popping an alkaseltzer tablet in
her mouth and wondering why
the glass of water she was hold
ing didn’t start to bubble.
