I have very fond memories of Jack and the time I spent working for
him at Barger Mattson Auto Salvage in the early 60's. I was in High School and he had me haul all kinds of building supplies to New Medows when he was build his cabin their. He was great to work for and I considered him a life long friend. He had a great life and was one of those people that could sell and make deals on anything.
