ThinkTV Auction

April 4, 2001

Your Chapter's support of the community was in evidence again on Wednesday evening, April 4th, 2001, when ten chapter members met at the Channel 14/16 studios in downtown Dayton to help with the annual ThinkTV Auction.  Scroll down though the pictures to get an idea of the frenzied fun in abundance that evening.

In this scene from ThinkTV's Confirmation Room, Edie Kreider is a model of concentration as she calls to confirm a bid.

From right to left, Mark Dowd and Mike Pascale — bashful guys that they are — avoid the limelight and cameras by pulling duty in the Confirmation Room too.    

Pictured here is Krista, the ThinkTV producer for the April 4th telecast, briefing our crew on the physical layout of the studio and the location of the major gifts "Boards."

Where the action is — in front of the cameras!   From right to left, Carolyn "All Smiles" Spiller, Janie "Zany" Gehman, Bob Gehman (lost composure and inadvertently jammed pen up nostril), and Pat "Take My Picture" Vollmer are poised to answer those phones!

On the floor of the studio, World A'fair volunteers return from a break and prepare to get back to the phones.

A family affair!!  Ann, Randy, and Jenna Gallas sport smiles as they take a brief respite from the incessant phone calls.

Mark Dowd flashes the "No. 1" sign — representing Penn State's place in our hearts!

Janie Gehman shows off our Penn State gorilla, while Carolyn Spiller is amused.

Mark Dowd (right) reprises his role as the best-dressed black-hatted fireman during the wildly crazy 60-second "Fire Drill" bidding.
