Zack Tolmie
Altamont NY

When Zack was 6 years old he made his 20-year life plan. So far he's graduated high school, went to the college of his dreams and has fallen in love. The only thing remaining is to buy his dream home. He plans to "win huge" here and buy that house. Zack has $13,500 in his bank and is 5 questions away from Round 2 and has used his Jump the Question lifeline.

Question #6:
After retiring from baseball, Jackie Robinson became an executive for what "heavenly" coffee brand?
A - Sanka
B - Chock Full o' Nuts

He then tells a story about being 11 years old and going to the fair and having a woman say she admired his shirt and offering to buy it off his back. He sold it for 2 slices of pizza. He asks Terry if he can sell him his shirt and buy back a lifeline. He is leaning toward two of the four answers. Half his bank wouldn't buy a house but it could buy a lot of things.

Since this was the second show of a double run, I'm guessing that whoever does the Thursday transcripts doesn't get the second show.

I'm pretty sure that the slogans for Sanka, Folgers and Maxwell House don't include "heavenly".

All of Uranus' named moons are named for Shakespeare characters, IIRC.
