Worcester’s Steinhart Shines on Jeopardy!
Friday, April 17, 2015
When interviewed by Alex Trebek, Steinhart told a story about how she knitted 40 wool hats for her brother-in-law who was deployed to Afghanistan a few years ago. Steinhart said, "They were up in the mountains. No one told them how cold it was going to get. So he asked if I could knit some hats for his unit, and I sent them over for Christmas."
Trebek said Steinhart must've been "Ms. Popularity" after that. Steinhart replied, "Yes. They were pretty pleased."
Steinhart is Ms. Popularity in Worcester right now as she held her own against Jacob and fellow challenger Dane Walker.
