Jack is a Manchester-based reporter and columnist whose work appears in multiple Georgia Trust for Local News publications. A Chicago native, he has lived in Georgia for most of the last half-century or so, and held many and varied jobs: teacher, radio and television newscaster, actor, writer, safari tour guide and newspaper editor; almost everything except game show host, which he hopes to eventually do as well. His column, “Did You Know…?,” is a weekly collection of odd and strange facts that will do absolutely nothing other than enlighten and (hopefully) entertain you. It may help you if you get on Jeopardy! one day, but we make no promises.
With the double celebration of the Fourth of July and the four hundredth installment of this silly column now behind me, it’s time to turn my attention to the future and look forward.
