I am Jack's cousin Georgiana. I live in Indiana. I'm sorry that I didn't know Jack well. I do remember meeting him when I was about five. He gave me a stuffed dog that wiggled his tail and head. I still have it. In our time, with he living in Kansas and my family living in Indiana, transportation was always an issue. I am sorry that we didn't get to know each other better. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.
