A Dream Come True On…

“WHEEL… OF… FORTUNE!”

Sue Artz watched the classic game show Wheel of Fortune loyally every night since age 11. Then on December 14, 2001, her ultimate dream came true!

When the “WheelMobile” brought auditions to Virginia Beach in October 2001, Sue drove up from Manteo and waited in line with thousands of other hopefuls.

Following her first audition in Virginia Beach, Sue was called back for final auditions in Richmond, Virginia in December 2001, after which she learned she had made it onto her favorite TV show.

In a followup article published that month in The Coastland Times, Sue talked about her appearance on Wheel of Fortune.
