His recollections of roommates are some of his favorite memories and he can re- member living with late 1930s fellow members Pete Durham '41 and Cliff Carter '40 his senior year. He even went on double dates with Cliff and the ladies that would become their wives. Additionally, Jack helped Pike win the intramural basketball championship, was on a tennis schol- arship (which was one brand new racquet and a weekly tennis ball), and played a fair share of nightly ping pong matches. To support the future success of the Pike house and foster a place where young men can form relationships, Jack supported the Beta Mu capital campaign. His years in Pike offered him a time to associate with many good people and helped him become a more involved member of society and he sees the campaign as a way for alumni to support the chapter as best they can. Aer graduation from UT, Jack served in the U.S. Navy. He was commissioned in 1941 as an engineering officer and was released from service in 1945, but stayed active in the reserve until 1961, where aer 20 years, he retired as com- mander. In 1945, Jack went to work for the Crossett Company in Arkansas as a power plant engineer. Later, Jack became a vice president at Georgia Pacific, and in 1975, he moved to the Portland, Oregon-based Times Mir- ror Corporation where he was senior vice president until 1985. Today, Jack lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas. During his time with these companies, he also stayed active in the community, serving on the Jaycees for many years, and serv- ing two terms on the Arkansas State Board of Education. "Do the best you can in your education," he advises current students. "Get as much education as you can and do the best with what you learn. Do as much in the civic arena as possible." Jack, now aged, was married to Jane Duls for 70 years and dated for seven years before they wed. Jane passed away in 2014, leaving Jack with their four children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Two of Jack's sons, Jack Jr. and William (deceased), were Pikes at the University of Arkansas.
