Leadership Akron Alums in Jeopardy! by Suzanne Allen '96
It was billed as a
“TWIST on one of the most popular TV game shows, with valuable
prizes for the winners.” But really, it was an opportunity to
learn m In a pretty good Alex Trebek imitation, Bob Pacanovsky '07, of Robert J Events and Catering, announced the rules and categories for today’s game. They were: Leadership Akron –Trivia, Leadership Akron- Fun Facts, Leadership Akron- “They really did that!” and The Bob & Tom Show.
A crowd of extremely
interesting folks, included Halle Andre-Haddow (the newest LA
staff member), Melvin Blake, Diane Bray, Drew Dawson, Fr. Norm
Douglas, Roz Edwards, Sue Hobson, Mary Jones, John Judge, Kevin
McGee, Mike McGlinchy, Angelina Milo, Brian Moore, Bob
Pacanovsky, Jim Pianalto, Jim Pickard, Heidi Roane, Bernie
Rochford, Debbie Rutherford, Chris Savage, Mark Scheffler, Eric
Smith and Sylvia Trundle. From this group of alums, we learned
about unicycles, a Frank Sinatra connection, a champion beer
pong player, a wanna-be professional umpire and so many other
wonderful bits of trivia. After three rounds of Jeopardy, the
final contestants were Kevin McGee, Jim Pianalto and Mary Jones
and their question was “How many Leadership Akron Alums are
there?” Kevin McGee won the grand prize…. but you know the
answer? Stay tuned! Watch for the next Lunch with Leaders and maybe you’ll find yourself in Jeopardy!
