THIS IS A SURPRISE!!! I am Karen, Jack’s wife of 41 years in June. :) Many people have asked me what they can do for Jack or give him to show him their appreciation, and a vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, will be a dream come true for Jack. This is something he has always wanted to do, and although this would be “pie in the sky” dream for Jack, which I know everyone would love to bless him with, if enough money isn’t raised, we all know he’ll be grateful for any away vacation since he hasn’t been able to get away for all these years.  I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you that donate and this will absolutely bless Jack more than you will ever know. Over these 42 years of teaching, I have watched Jack laugh with his kids, cry with his kids, pray with and for his kids, bury his kids, and seen him “father” thousands, and sometimes it meant he had to be tough, but I’ve seen the fruits of his labor in many amazing adults now, who Jack mentored through some of their toughest years in high school. I’m so excited for this next new season and for what God has planned for him. ♥️
