Captain Jack in Annapolis Sept 1999

Our prayers go to Jack's soul and his family during this sad time. My memories of working with Jack at Fluor will last my lifetime. Two notable memories: Sailing across the Chesapeake and under the twin Annapolis Bridges in September 1999 with Joe Kennedy of Fluor, Art Lowe of Roche, and Jeff Walker of Roche. Jack was a good sailor, but getting between the bridge supports had him a tad nervous with he strong current. Then years later returning from a fishing trip with him on LBI and getting a $59 ticket for misreading the chart and keeping an undersized flounder. The Fish and Game officer said Jack's boat was too nice for us not to know the law and wouldn't take any excuses. Attached are two photos of Captain Jack on the sailing trip.
