Radio and television mirror (July-Dec 1948)

Twenty Questions (Continued jrom page 41) Dad and Mom had recovered from their anxiety about their guest's injured feelings, they realized that Nancy had hit on quite an idea. Van was so excited about it that he promptly took the suggestion to the Mutual Broadcasting System and they started auditions for the program immediately. The past two years have told the rest of the story. When they are away from the radio studio, the Vanderventers quickly forget their public life. They live in a lovely rambling ranch-type house in Princeton, New Jersey, close to Princeton University. Florence does all her own cooking. She does all her own gardening as well, but refuses to grow the green onions — scallions — that Van adores. A considerate, loving wife in every respect, she draws the line at green onions for what she thinks are pretty good reasons. Blue-eyed, sandy-haired Bobby "McGuire" Vanderventer, now sixteen, is an average student at Princeton High School. When he is there, Bobby never mentions his radio work and is profoundly embarrassed if other students or teachers bring it up. Like most teenagers, one of Bobby's greatest desires is to be just like all his other friends. ILTHOUGH he could probably mainil tain a brilliant scholastic average, Bobby spends so much time on extracurricular activities, especially with the Boy Scouts, that his grades are just average. But both his parents feel that they'd much rather have an all-around son than a quiz kid in the house, so they let Bobby lead his own, very busy life. Nancy, their daughter, is two years older than Bob. She has substituted for him on Twenty Questions during the summers when he has been away on Boy Scout affairs. Many listeners have noticed the remarkable resemblance between Nancy's crisp microphone personality and that of her father. She looks very much like her Dad too and has his dynamic, restless nature. Fair -haired, petite, and attractive Florence Rinard comes from Farmlands, Indiana — that's just sixty miles from Van's home town of Tipton, Indiana. They didn't meet however until Florence, then a supervisor of music for several Indiana schools, attended a High School Music Convention in Chicago. There, a sorority sister introduced her to a dark, energetic newspaperman who was working for a prominent Chicago newspaper. He was very anxious to take her on a tour of the city because she had never been there before. By the time their sight-seeing jaunt was over, they had forgotten about local points of interest and were concentrating on each other. Four months later Florence married the newspaperman Fred Vanderventer, and started on a life that has had its ups and downs but has never been dull. After her marriage to Van, Florence gave up her job as a music supervisor and teacher. Things went well for a while, but by the time Bobby was born and Nancy was two years old, the nation-wide depression hit its lowest point. And so did the Vanderventers. It is significant and typical of them that at this point Van and Florence put their heads together and came up with a scheme that had them working side Love-quiz . . .
