Jack was really a very good QB.Accurate passer with a decent arm.And he was tough and smart.
I loved those games down at war memorial as a young kid.....Parked at a Jefferson avenue business.
I remember that dirt walkway around the field that you could cruise DURING the bloody game.There was a
rickety little fence separating that walkway from the players benches.
Toward the latter years of WM..around 1970 I believe...Vince Lombardi came in with his Washington Redskins
for a preseason game. I remember going down to the dirt track and standing within a few feet of Lombardi--who was
relaxed and not in game mode since it was preseason.Of course I was in awe--being maybe 12 yrs old.-That Redskin
team he had was very quickly becoming good
and I am convinced he would have repeated his dynasty building had he not died so soon after from cancer.
Jack came to our school one time to give a talk on civics.this was early 70s so he may have already been congressman Kemp.
