Jackie and I were toddlers living nearby one another before going on to 1st grade being close in age. I remember playing with Jackie and doing early childhood activities with him including going to Catholic Church. I moved away in 1964 to another part of Havre before moving to Oregon with my family. Wonderful childhood memories of Jackie and I growing up there in Havre. My condolences to his family. Dan Overcast
