When home in Columbus last week my sister,Marlene Korte, gave me one of the most exciting gifts that I have received in years, A copy of "Jack" with note and his autograph inside.
I was a high school classmate of Ginny and Dwayne Smith. Jack was a classmate of my brother, Norman (deceased in 2003).
Jack gave me a ride home from UNL to Columbus in his handsome 88 Oldsmobile on a couple of occasions
in 1954-1955. He drove to Lincoln to school and knew just how much gas to leave in the car to get back to Columbus on Friday (to the Station at 33rd Ave and 8th St (and his family credit line, I assumed)
He put the gear in neutral and coasted down the Platte River bluff south of Columbus just to be sure we got to town before fuel ran out.
I visited with Jack at Goshen for just a few minutes (busy man) in the late 80's. I lived in Louisville during the Alysheba era.
The book is a treasure...thank you to all who got the job done.
My best regards to Jack.
With the utmost pride in all that he has accomplished...Harold Dey.
