Like others here, I was on a call list at one time though it was when
I lived in Lafayette Louisiana and it was from one of the members of
Acadiana DX association. I never met Jack nor did I get a call from
him but I remember how grateful I was to get a 3AM call to work a new
one. People like Jack are a treasured few and I would have liked to
know him.
