Just when I was focused on beating my evil nemesis Jim Farrell this week.....I now have a "sleeper cell" at the University of Iowa that.....
BAM! hits me out of no-where with this week's correct answer.....JACK RUBY!
Kellie Rogers.....you need to go back to studying and beer bongs....
and then check your mailbox for your GRAND PRIZE!!
That's right.....Jack Ruby...the first TV Reality Star!!
(not Jack Benny....good try bro....I thought you were a detective?)
was the correct answer this week and of course his claim to fame was the prime-time shooting death of
Lee Harvey Oswald .....
46 years ago last Trivia Tuesday.
Interesting pic.....Jack heading back after a lunch break to his Sanity Trial in 1966....
where Jack pleaded with the jury to rule that he was sane!?!
Trial was requested by his family and ordered held by the State of Texas.
He was found sane and sent back to prison to finish serving his 1964 death sentence.
Ruby would be dead within 6 months from lung cancer.
Ironic that the building behind Ruby is the Texas School Book Depository Building from where Oswald (allegedly) shot Kennedy.
The day after Kennedy was shot.....Oswald's kitchen with (L-R) Oswald's mother holding his daughter....family friend doing dishes...Oswald's wife Marina with other daughter next to her.
The infamous shot.....
Another view.....
I don't remember this one.....but heard that they were great live!FYI.....Ruby's $16 Fedora .....
just sold at auction a few weeks ago for over $50,000.

Not Xmas shopping.....and warmer than you!
