A friend told me that a person from Minnesota State University was on the David Letterman show last night. She was an audience member who apparently was interviewed in some kind of Show and Tell skit. Did anyone see the same skit and catch her name?
Update: Austen tells us in the comments that the woman's name is Betty Holdvogt. Here's what happened on Letterman's show - complete with a picture of Ms. Holdvogt and a scultped likeness of her.
Betty Holdvogt of Melrose, Minnesota. Holdvogt – it’s German for “good land owner.” Does it fit? Betty says her folks are farmers, so perhaps it does.
Betty is a human resources intern at an automotive tool making company called, the SPX Corporation. Dave ponders a moment and exclaims, “Oh, the SPX Corporation . . . they make. . . . sunscreen?” No, Dave is thinking of SPF.So what does Betty have for us tonight? Back in 2003, Betty was selected to be a Minnesota Dairy Princess. So impressed was Dave that he led a standing ovation for Ms. Holdvogt. And then she became a finalist in the Minnesota Dairy Queen Competition. This led Dave to encourage another standing ovation. And from all this, she had a sculpture made of herself . . . made of butter! And she has the butter sculpture here tonight. Biff brings down the 50-pound head of oleo and it looks magnificent. Such a tribute having your head in butter! Nice job, Ms. Holdvogt.
