<div> </div>
</div>
<div>My first encounter with Jack was on a small team in Summer 1970, working on the tactical system for renewing the local church. I was just out of university, planning to join the Order in the fall when I would start
teaching school. Jack was a very rational team leader with firm opinions. One day we were assigned to the preschool. What an adventure. I saw an entirely new side of Jack and appreciated him in a different way after that day.
<div>Journey on is an appropriate send-out, Joan. </div>
