Susan Putt on Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune awaited Susan Putt who was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, which was telecast Thursday evening. Susan, a retired ONU English professor, won a trip to Iceland and cash prizes that totaled $24,168.
She mentioned Ohio Northern as her former place of employment and cheerily said, “Go ‘Bears” when host Pat Sajak introduced her. She acknowledged her husband Harold, a retired math prof, along with her sister Judy and friends Becky and Linda who were in the audience to root her on.
Susan was the overall winner so she chose “Place” category for the bonus round.
The puzzle went unsolved as 10 seconds passed by quickly. The answer was “crowded gym.” Her extra prize would have been a Mini Cooper
