I remember Jack well. At our 20th reunion, he and I sat by the pool, and watched all the bathing beauties parade by. We were amazed at how many that were quiet, shy, and plain in high school turned out to be knockouts 20 years later! Jack always did things his way. I saw him shortly before he passed away, and the first thing he said, was,"Jensen - - - what in the hell happened to you?" We both laughed, since I was now about twice his size, and had all my hair (which he didn't). Jack was his own man to the end. I'll miss seeing him every 20 years.
