5-Time
Winner Gracious Enough to Chat & Take Photo with a Couple of Big
Fans
Like
clockwork, every Tuesday evening, my wife and I watch Jeopardy on TV
before rushing out of the house to play trivia in the weekly contest
staged at Princeton's Ivy Inn. But because the reigning champ,
Gilbert Collins, lives and works in Princeton, as I turned off the
set I mentioned that I'd like to meet and interview him someday.
Little
did I know how soon half that wish would come true. For, lo and
behold, there he was among the many trivia enthusiasts in attendance
at the local watering hole. The handsome Harvard grad was very
gracious when me and my buddy Boot introduced ourselves and began
peppering him with questions about the show.
And
I think he sort of agreed to a tete-a-tete, too. So, watch this space
for what promises to be a scintillating chat with a brilliant
brother.
