My thoughts and prayers go out to Jack and his family. I was with Cabs drum line when Jack assisted George Tuthill. Jack was instrumental in pulling the drum line together in 1972. Everyone who marched in the drum line can remember the grueling drum exercises Jack put us through, particularly in 1972 in Chicago. Jack also wrote the last drum solo in 1972 and has been played by the Alumni corps for many years. I also recall JAck's zany humor which always seemed to break some tense moments. I hope he beats this thing.
