Bridgewater’s Terry O’Shea Advances in Competition

On Thursday evening, Terry O’Shea, a graduate of Bridgewater-Raritan High School, and currently a student at Princeton University won $17,200 on Alex Trebek’s popular TV show, Jeopardy.

O’Shea outscored two other competitors in the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions this week, where her winning score qualified her to advance to the semifinals in which she will compete again next Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., on ABC TV.

Last winter, I remember observing Terry O’Shea at the John F. Kennedy Primary School on the evening of March 11, 2014.  There, she appeared informally as a guest of the Bridgewater-Raritan school board shortly after she had won $100,000 in February on Jeopardy.
Answer:  " What is Hokkaido and Honshu?"


She was every bit as genuine and unassuming that evening in Raritan as she is when she competes in Jeopardy, the very popular TV show beamed into the homes of millions
.
It was a treat to have seen her in person.
