CBS Biography

In 1959, young Air Force pilot Dave saw Margaretta across a crowded nightclub and begged his friend for an introduction. Forty years later, they've logged lots of travel time together, and their magic is still alive and well. When they heard about THE AMAZING RACE, they knew they'd make a great Team: Dave is adventurous and an eternal optimist; Margaretta hates to be left behind and enjoys keeping up with Dave.
