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.
Here we go again! No, I’m not taking you on another trip you don’t want to go on ... I’m sending you some more trivia to chat about over the dining table.
