Very wonderful write-up! I was actually at this! I didn't know that Pat Sajak was the surprise guest till I arrived. I was hoping to meet him afterwards, but got stuck in the flow of guests when the show was over. I missed him by 5 minutes. I did get James Holleman & Jessica Bastian to autograph my program though! A scan of it is below. I'm hoping that Hillsdale will invite him back for more concerts later this year!

I did have the chance to meet Pat and his whole family when they came down on September 14th 2007 for Homecoming & the dedication ceremony of the Pat & Lesly Sajak Lobby & Classroom. & I got them to all sign my program as well!

Thanks again for such a great story and I'm happy that I got to be a part of it!
