You probably don't recall this, but a network news show (maybe 48 hours) in the mid 1990s featured Beyer on an episode about gambling. Beyer was presented as someone who took an intelligent approach to gambling, as opposed to a teacher from California playing in slot tournaments in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Beyer had a losing day for the cameras, but we did get to see Beyer drive off from Laurel in his Lexus.
