CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Libby Hunt is a retired consultant from Texas who is related to the late husband of a dear friend of mine.
Libby: Yes.
Alex: You are related to Allen Ludden.
Libby: Yes.
Alex: And did you get to spend time with him?
Libby: Absolutely, yes. Uh, he was from my--my hometown, and, uh, absolutely, we spent time with him. And, of course, before Password, he did GE College Bowl on television and on radio, so I think of that as the thinking person's game show before Jeopardy!
Alex: Oh. Thank you for including us.
[Laughs]
Alex: Colby Taylor, assistant professor of psychology in Mississippi. You went to Italy to take a course that had nothing to do with psychology, but it sounds like a fun course.
Colby: You know, it could be related in some ways. When I was finishing up my undergraduate degree, I had an opportunity to go to Italy to take wine appreciation.
Alex: Ah!
Colby: It was at 9:30 in the morning. Um, it was very educational.
[Laughter]
Alex: Yeah. What did you need for a passing grade? "I chugged down three bottles."
Colby: Yeah. Three bottles would get you a solid A-minus.
Alex: Okay, good for you.
Alex: Blair Moorhead is our champion. You're a social worker. But once, you wanted to do more than just social work. You thought of becoming a pastor, didn't you?
Blair: Yeah, actually, that's something I'm still considering. I'm in the ordination process. Um, I also went to seminary. I did seminary and social work at the same time, because I think, you know, human mental health as well as spirituality go so much together.
Alex: You bet.
