Alex Trebek
Born George Alexander Trebek in Ontario Canada, Alex was best known for being the host of the game show "Jeopardy" from 1984 until his passing. He also hosted "The Wizard of Odds", "Double Dare", "High Rollers", "Battlestars", "Classic Concentration", and "To Tell the Truth". Months before his passing, he laughingly suggested that actress Betty White should take over as host of Jeopardy. Alex was born to George Edward Trebek (originally Terebeychuk), who emigrated from the Ukraine as a child, and Lucille Lagacé, an Ontarian of French heritage. Alex grew up speaking both French and English. George was a chef at a hotel and Alex's first job was as a bellhop at his father's hotel when he was 13. In 1974, Alex married Elaine Callei and he adopted her daughter Nicky. The couple had no other children and they divorced in 1981. In 1990, he married Jean Currivan, a New York real estate project manager. They had 2 children, Matthew and Emily, and remained married until he died. Besides his long and lucrative show business career, he owned and managed a 700 acre ranch near Paso Robles CA called Creston Farms. The farm bred and trained racehorses. He sold the farm in 2008.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

I have been an avid fan of Donald Madden since the 1980's. I am very happy to contribute to this site on his behalf. 2018 marks the 35th anniversary of his passing and sadly, most of us are too young to have seen him on stage , not much of his television work remains, and for reasons of his own, he chose to do only one theatrical film. Still, the available examples of his work shows an actor masterful at his craft. I hope through the website to be able to keep his memory alive.
