Tonight, we’re doing our Jeopardy-like review to help the kids get ready for their confirmation exam which will take place next week. Of course, for many years, the TV program Jeopardy has been hosted by Alex Trebek, but some of us older catechists đŸ™‚ recall the original host, Art Fleming who hosted the program from 1964 through 1975 and again from 1978-79. Don’t forget that I have links on last Thursday’s post to the 4 rounds of questions that I’ve prepared…help yourself!

All of the lights in the room were turned off and I had a CD playing in […]

Last Night's Class, Tonight's Webinar
Last evening, my students took their Confirmation exam. I haven’t had a chance to correct them yet, however, I can tell from a quick glance that there are no disasters awaiting me. In previous years, I had one or two kids who left full pages blank. Not this time. Before the exam, I gave them time to study and to quiz one another. I then told them that the Catholic faith was like a family […]
I was the captain of my College Bowl team a long time ago. CBS Radio carried the tournaments; one year the moderator was Art Fleming. Based on that weekend of interacting with The Great One, I’d say that what you saw on Jeopardy was the real guy. It was very…flattering, I suppose, to have him be our moderator that weekend.
Captain Christian! How cool!
