I was high school class of 1988 and tried out for the teen tournament after yours. We tested in the actual studio, sitting in the audience bleachers. While we waited for the coordinators to grade our test responses, they aired the final of your show for us. I unfortunately didn’t even make first cut, but the experience is memorable to this day.
I lost on Jeopardy too! So glad I got to meet Alex Trebek and the incredible production staff.
Later through Jeopardy! Connections I was part of an ecumenical prayer service for me trebek when he announced his cancer diagnosis. Although I lost it led to many other incredible connections .
That was a huge accomplishment and very impressive run. Proud of you and don't know anyone else who could have made it that far at that age much less now. You're awesome.
