A glossy 8x10?

You know this guy, right?  The most winning-est contestant ever on Jeopardy.  He was on like 52 consecutive shows and won a ton of money.

Well, Sam loves him and is constantly watching him on youtube.  He is always asking if Ken Jennings is faster than him.  The answer is always, I'm afraid so. 

A few weeks ago I sent this email to Ken Jennings:

Hi Ken,

My name is Kim Weinreb and my son, Sam, is totally obsessed with you!  He's almost 13 (on Sunday) and has special needs and he tends to love game shows....The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune and of course, Jeopardy.  He's watched probably every youtube clip of you, knows how much you made on each show and wonders if he could beat you.  He's an awesome kid and I know he'd love it if perhaps you could send him an autographed photo of you, if you have them.

Thanks for your time,
Kim

This is the response I got back:

Kim
Thanks for your note!  Give Sam my best and I hope he has a great
birthday.  My birthday was this week too.

I'm afraid I don't keep photos of myself on hand to sign...there's
really not that much demand!  But now that I know about Sam, I wish I
did.

Best,
Ken

What?  I can't believe there's not more demand for photos!  Well, here's my second request, how about a little note to Sam?  Would that be possible?  Just maybe a little "thanks for watching me on Jeopardy, etc."  If so, here's our address:

Sam Weinreb
4400 Oliver Lane

Happy b-day to you!

This is what came in the mail today (June 9):

Um...could it get any cooler than that?!  Seriously, not only is Ken Jennings a trivia superstar but as you can see, he's an artist!  This is so much better than a glossy 8x10 autographed photo.

A priceless piece to add to Sam's collection.

Thanks Ken!  You're awesome!
