8. Before TOMMY BARTLETT got his famous water-skiing show in the Wisconsin Dells, he worked in Chicago radio. he was just 17 years old in 1931 when he started at WBBM-AM where he went on to host two very popular daytime programs for housewives, "Meet the Missus" and The Missus Goes to the Market."
A fun show to see except when they lost the lake when the dam broke that time.
9. In 1951, divorced dressmaker MARGARET JORGENSON of Oshkosh, left nearly $100,000 in her will to a man she met for just four hours. The two began chatting in an elevator in Chicago and then had lunch together.
After they parted, they kept up correspondence, but never met again. The will left her relatives nothing, so, of course, they sued and did win half the money.
By-Gosh.
10. Some Wisconsin places have some FUNNY NAMES like Imalone, Ubet, Embarrass, Footville and Spread Eagle. Then there is retired race car driver Dick Trickle of Wisconsin Rapids.
Then there is Milwaukee and neighboring Palwaukee.
Another great job, guys.
