POSTMASTER: Send address changes to Airfare, Another Cordray Vies for Quiz-show Glory 2400 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43210 By Joe Blundo, The Columbus Dispatch WOSU Public Media (This article originally appeared on May 9 and is reprinted with permission by Joe Blundo and The Columbus Dispatch) General Manager Tom Rieland Think twice before challenging the Cordray family to a trivia contest. Director of Marketing Meredith Hart & Communications On Wednesday night, Danny Cordray and his teammates at Central Crossing High School will appear on Membership Rob Walker the WOSU-TV broadcast of the championship round of In the Know, a long-running quiz show. Cordray is the son of Richard Cordray, who 40 years ago was on the championship In the Know team at Friends of WOSU Board Grove City High School. President Bill Schiffman Yes, that Richard Cordray, director of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, former Ohio Vice President Kathy McGinnis treasurer and, most relevantly for the topic at hand, five-time champion on Jeopardy! Secretary/Treasurer Kyle Anderson In fact, Cordrays have been demonstrating their game-playing prowess for three generations: Frank, Board Members father of Richard and grandfather of Danny, had the distinction of being the only bridge player to win tournaments in eight different decades. Dan Cvetanovich Ray LaVoie Ann DiMarco Michelle Leedy Danny, a senior at Central Crossing, competes on In the Know with teammates Haarith Ahmed, Nazar Laura Ecklar Ed Lentz Jeri Grier Debbie Mitchell Momot and Serina Smith. They will vie for glory and four $2,000 scholarships awarded to the winners by Fred Hadley Christine Mortine Ohio State University. Dale Heydlauff Tom Rieland BethAnn Hullinger Katy Rigsby Danny said his father’s advice on topics to study for the contest was invaluable. Jon Hsu David Stallings Karen Ickes Guadalupe Velasquez “I was willing to spend the time, but to have somebody tell me how to spend the time was really helpful.” Mac Joseph Richard has a cassette tape from the 1977 finals, when he helped his team win a close contest against Delaware Hayes by answering questions about composer Jacques Offenbach and the spoils system under WOSU Mission: The mission of WOSU Public Media is to enrich lives through content and Andrew Jackson. experiences that engage, inform and inspire. The finals this year, pitting Central Crossing against Olentangy High School, took place several days ago for taped broadcast, and I will not reveal the outcome. But the competition was tense. Questions? Comments? “Incredibly nerve-wracking,” said Richard, who attended with his wife, Peggy. “You know how it is in the Please send an email to [email protected] or call stands when a parent is watching a child play.” 614.292.9678. Of course, Richard, who spends his workweek in Washington and commutes home to Grove City on weekends, is no stranger to high-pressure television: He won $45,303 on Jeopardy! in 1987 and has been grilled in televised congressional hearings about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to which he was appointed by President Barack Obama. Father and son have another parallel: Richard was co-valedictorian of his 1977 graduating class, and Danny is valedictorian of his. Danny will graduate on June 3 with his twin sister, Holly, and plans to attend Duke University. The Cordrays, not surprisingly, enjoy games even when they’re not on television. They like playing, among others, Scrabble, Password and a trivia game called Bezzerwizzer. I asked whether they engage in cutthroat tactics. “Nothing crazy,” Danny said, “but we all like to win.” (Editor’s Note: Central Crossing was crowned Champion of the 2016/17 Season of In the Know when the final episode aired on WOSU TV the day this article appeared.) 2 For detailed listings, visit wosu.org Primetime and Weekend Schedule for WOSU TV 3:00 pm More Trains Around North America: Monday, June 5, 2017 Programs are subject to change Great Scenic Railway Journeys 7:30 pm Sara’s Weeknight Meals during Pledge Weeks: 6:00 pm BrainFit: 50 Ways to Grow Your 8:00 pm The 60s Generation Brain with Daniel Amen, MD Essential folk rock, R&B, and pop hits from the era and Tana Amen, RN June 3 - June 13 of peace, love and music of social protest.
