Who is Ken Jennings, Alex?
Val Nieman, ex-News & Record editor, novelist, academician and raconteur, is flying to L.A. next month to appear on "Jeopardy." We're proud and feeling possessive of Val because she came to the News & Record as our Rockingham County editor and then served two days a week as assistant national editor and three days a week teaching journalism at A&T. Last summer, she accepted a full-time gig as instructor at A&T. We didn't teach her much, but she taught us a lot.
No word on when her segment will appear, but I'll let you know. We're betting she'll take Ken Jennings' record.
