More detail on this person: You folks may remember Jack? Jack and I grew up in adjacent Montana towns, attended college together and met by chance at Ft. Wolters. We rented a house in Fayetteville while with the 57th,. After arriving in RVN, Jack was reassigned to the 170th AHC. Jack picked up Dean Smith, and crew, after Dean's engine failure between Kon Tum and Dak To. John Tiball was with the 57th early on and deployed with them to Vietnam in 1967. Upon arrival however he was transfered to the 170th. I received the following from Steve Sullivan. Steve states he died in November of last year but it was actually on December 8th. Steve wrote: "After RVN Jack returned to school and received his degree in Architecture. He had a successful career as a project manager for a large international engineering firm in Portland. Jack had homes in Kalama, Washington and the Phoenix area. In recent years his health was failing and I am sad to just learn that Jack died in November 2024. Keep your rotor in the green Jack,"
