The ever present Oregon connection
"Jennings, a resident at Churchill Estates retirement center, is the grandmother of Ken Jennings, an unassuming, 30-year-old software engineer from Utah whose unprecedented "Jeopardy!" winning streak has catapulted him to fame. He's been interviewed on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Show With David Letterman" and the network morning shows. A Google search with his name and the keyword "Jeopardy" yields 24,100 hits, including a site called 'The Cult of Ken Jennings.'" - Eugene Register-Guard
Was there ever any doubt someone would find an Oregon connection to this story? From tornadoes to train wrecks, if it makes the news we will find a way to put a local spin on it.
