Two from area on ‘Millionaire’

Two women from Montgomery County have taken the hot seat across from Meredith Vieira on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

First up, today at 12:30 p.m. (Channel 6), was Melissa Feilke, 33, of Abington, a former history teacher at Hallahan Catholic Girls High and stay-at-home mom with three kids under age 3. She also has a small business selling bags. She assigns names to the bags - and named one after Vieira. The "Meredith Bag" has a side pocket to hold a coffee cup.

She correctly answered the $16,000 question, which was: "Also known as a honey bear, the kinkajou belongs to the same family as what other animal? A) Raccoon, B) Skunk, C) Badger, D) Opossum." Answer was A.

She then faced the $25,000 question: "Tegucigalpa is the capital of what Central American country?" Answers: A) Guatemala, B) El Salvador, C) Honduras, D) Nicaragua. She was unsure that Honduras was the correct response, so she walked away with $16,000.
