Bob Barker from Price is Right is not from Missouri. He was born in Washington and grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barker
Back in the late 70's early 80's i went to Central high school and worked as stage crew, one night i was up in the projection booth looking around there was box that used be for electoral wiring inside was covered with past students signatures was surprised to find Bob Barkers in there. been close to 40 years and i know the stage has at least 1 major over hall since then so im not sure if it still there.
That's pretty cool! It's hard not to know about Bob Barker. 😂 And he was a really good guy. I would hope they would hang it up somewhere! Especially since he was a school celebrity.
@@cwfan2 Barker met his future wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon, at an Ella Fitzgerald concert while he was attending high school in Missouri; they began dating when he was 15.[6] He attended Drury College (now Drury University) in Springfield, Missouri, on a basketball athletic scholarship.[1] He was a member of the Epsilon Beta chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity at Drury.[7] He joined the United States Navy Reserve in 1943 during World War II to train as a fighter pilot, but did not serve on active duty. During leave from the military, he married Dorothy Jo[6] on January 12, 1945.[8] After the war, he returned to Drury to finish his education, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in economics.[1]-wiki
