Alan Walters: "Jeopardy! baby"

From Season 15

I had just received my $12,001 in winnings when my wife and I went to a Rotary convention in Singapore. I had always said that if I had "mad money," I would get three things: a Rolex watch, a tailor-made suit and Cuban cigars. When we got there, we spent an afternoon fulfilling that dream, buying the watch, getting measured for the suit and purchasing the smokes. I went up on the roof to light up and enjoy an adult beverage while my wife went to the room to rest. When I came back, she was on the bed crying. I asked what was wrong, saying that this had been one of the greatest days ever. She said, "I guess I need to tell you I'm pregnant!" Fortunately, I had about two-thirds of the money left, so we closed in our carport for a den and freed up the extra bedroom for baby #2, Jason, who became our Jeopardy! baby.

Attached is a picture of me with Jason, now 18 years old.
