<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I met "Uncle" Jack at Road America in the late 90's
when I was there as a spectator and asked him where to get a header for my
street TR4. He was very nice, and my dad and I talked with him and
complimented his beautiful TR4 (old blue). Years later my dad and I were
building our own TR4 race car, and Jack helped every step of the way. He
invited us into his home, showed us his car, and we had a nice lunch
together. I was impressed with his ingenuity and car. I couldn't
believe he built his own flow bench. I was impressed that "Uncle" Jack had
a tremendous wealth of skill and knowlege, but wasn't full of himself. He
was very down to earth and willing to answer our questions. In the years
to come my dad and I were fortunate enough to paddock next to Jack and
Tony. I am probably the youngest person racing a TR-4 in vintage racing,
so I really did see Jack as "Uncle" Jack. I couldn't believe he remained
so calm when something on his car would break, or the lengths he would go to to
finish the week-end, like putting his rear end assembly in the back of his van
and driving 4 hours home and back again to rebuild it. I always looked
forward to seeing "Uncle" Jack at the races. Being new to racing, I looked
up to him as an example of how to act and race in Vintage Racing.
"Uncle" Jack was a class act all the way.</FONT></DIV>
