In 2007, I was lucky enough to go to a taping of “Jeopardy!” And although I didn’t get to have a full on meet and greet with Alex, he gave the audience a chance to ask questions during the breaks. I raise my hand and asked him how long he was doing the show for, and he said for about 22 years. A week later, I wrote him a letter saying how much of a fan of him I was an asked him for advice on pursuing my future career in broadcasting. And he wrote me back and said to be well read and to take a keen interest in everything that takes place around me. Rest in peace, Alex. And thank you for all the amazing memories you brought to everyone through the show and being such a kind and down-to-earth person.

thank you so much for the reply, and yes, it was the coolest thing ever! When I met the staff at the door, I told them how I’m a big fan of him who happens to be blind and asked if I could have a meet and greet with him. Even though they told me he was getting ready to start doing the taping, they were kind enough to put me in a spot where I’d be close to him during it. When I sat down in the seat they put me in, I was told he was 2 to 3 feet in front of me. I’m really happy I had the opportunity to quickly ask him how long he was hosting the show for and that he took the time to respond to my fan letter.

HBCU Football Matters I'm so sorry for your loss. Your situation is just proof that women can't wait until 40 for their first mammogram because that's a death sentence. Too many women are being diagnosed in their 20s and 30s and many don't have a family history. A family friend had two different aggressive cancers in each breast at age 37. She had to insist on mammograms and sonogram.The guidelines need to change.
