    Jack Barry died while jogging in Central Park.

A terrible athlete from childhood and heavy-set borderline diabetic with high blood pressure, I took up running, which sounds better than jogging, late in life. On a springtime trip to NYC, I was excited to run--and I was never excited to run--in Central Park. It was a proud moment indeed when I made it around the reservoir without perishing.

Here's to you, Mr. Barry.

One of the most interesting parts of Adam Nedeff's Quizmaster is the story of the aftermath of Barry's death, especially with regard to Hot Potato and, of course, Bill inheriting the Joker's Wild job.  The Hot Potato stuff is particularly interesting since most of it was not widely reported before.

Er uh; thanks for that anecdote. I guess.
