What with not seeing Jack for the past five years and learning so much about Jack I didn’t know from your remarks, it seems Jack if still with us. I was delightfully surprised, for instance, to discover that Jack’s preferred type face — Palatino — is also mine, but for different reasons: his, because it gets more characters per line and takes fewer pages than most other types; mine, because of its clean-cut beauty. We would have enjoyed sharing “Palatino” had we known of this preference. Another commonality: Jack and I were both persistent critters, but Jack won the prize for all times. Yet he never used that force on me; we cordially accepted our different approaches to publishing and life.
Bravo, Jack, you’re unforgettable!
