Earlier in the week, Pam Hamilton-Sanders appeared on Monday. Her appearance on the show focused on one life changing goal. She and her husband Jim are looking to adopt a baby. Her focus was just cash, win the money, get a baby, and she won $42,152 including a trip to Europe with a Sony Handycam 8mm video camcorder and a month later, she was told about Jessica. She became their "Wheel of Fortune" baby. Her Bonus Round puzzle was "IN ADDITION". So, in addition, they got their addition. In 2004, Jessica is a teenager and Pam operates a daycare center out of her home. Through the show, it basically has re-sculptured their whole entire life. They became a family, they devised their own in-home business, and it just has changed their whole life.

Aired one day after my 6th Birthday growing up in Deposit, New York. I had two CBS affiliates that aired Wheel at 7pm following Jeopardy at 7:30 on WBNG Ch 12 Binghamton and WYOU Ch 22 Scranton. Scranton was ahead of Binghamton by 5 seconds. Both stations aired them from 1986-92.

22:23 - I had one of those - it was neat. The "wheel" only had a top value of $1,000 though, no matter which round.

It was the endind song after they solve the puzzle

The Hi-Lo Trailer, mentioned in the end credits but not offered on this episode, likely would have been the prize on the round four Wheel, but it wasn't on the Wheel as round four was a Speed-Up from the beginning.

My dad had a mortgage business in Modesto in the late 1980s-Summer of 1994. I wonder if he knew Shel since real estate and mortgage can go hand in hand. My dad's business was at 538 McHenry Ave....later turned into a credit union, and then recently turned into a laundromat.

The name Doug Harmon pops into my mind. I’m 99% sure they knew each other. It was a small town back then and as you said, the 2 went hand in hand. If this is the place I’m remembering, then I worked there for a summer around 1984, setting up a database to help organize things. Wild!

@@brett4762 My dad's name is Larry K. (prefer not to put last name in comments)

[@brett4762]

I don’t remember that name specifically but do remember my dad working with a lot of Mortgage and title places. I might be thinking of the Title company on McHenry. Close to sylvan / standiford I believe.

[@brett4762]

No. He passed away in 2010.

Not 100% sure but I seem to remember it being on at night. We had a party when it aired, as he had filmed it a month or so before it aired.
