Question by julygirl75038: Which person is dead? (For radio trivia)?
1. Betty Ford (Wife of former US president Gerald Ford, founded “The Betty Ford Center” for the treatment of alcoholism)

2. Joe Garagiola (Former catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, “Today Show” host, TV game show host, commentator)

3. Rex Reed (Film critic)

4. Bob Dole (Longtime US senator from Kansas, presidential candidate in 1996)
I tried Rex Reed for the radio trivia…..it was the incorrect answer…he’s still alive. Joe G was the answer for the radio trivia……even though he is still alive.
I checked the site www.deadoralive.com and it says that all of them are alive….so I guess this was an invalid question on the radio stations.
