As I step down as CEO of the Salzburg Global Seminar, I remember fondly Jack as the director who persuaded me to take the job and whose guidance made such a difference in my ability to carry it out. His belief in the organization and in me made a huge difference. Thanks to his family for sharing his time and energy for this and other causes he held dear.

Jack was a truly remarkable man with quiet determination to advance the causes he gave himself to. A tribute to him can be found at www.SalzburgGlobal.org.
