I won a whistling contest on the Officer Don Show when I was seven. This was a kids show broadcast at the local TV station. Officer Don actually lived about two miles from me I later found out.
We had to eat a plate full of crackers and the first person who could whistle won. I crammed all the crackers in at once and chomped and chewed as fast as I could. I was able to get a feeble little whistle out before anyone else so I won a goodie bag.
They wanted me to have my picture taken with Orville the Dragon (a puppet) but I was afraid of him!!!
That was my five minutes of fame.
