THINGS I ADMIRE ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND JACK CAREY

 Jack Carey was an amazing person with many wonderful qualities. I admire his:

•  Ethics. He fought hard for what he believed was right and fought hard against what the believed was wrong. And he never gave up.

• Critical thinking ability. He had the ability to analyze problems and come up with solutions. 

• Persistence. He never gave up. I remember his fights with the design department over the design of my textbooks. We wanted a clean simple design but they kept wanting to add design features that got in the way of educational function. He fought them so hard that they banned him from coming to their floor. After that they left us alone. 

• Dedication to data and information. He provided his authors with feedback from many reviewers. I benefitted from inputs by several hundred reviewers of my books. 

• Curiosity. He wanted to learn and discuss new ideas. Over the years we had marvelous discussions about ethics, life, death, health, politics, greed, and the book publishing business. 

• Dedication to friends and family. I was fortunate to have him as my best friend for over 40 years—an incredibly rare gift. He always spoke with love about his children and about Cecie—the love of his life. 

 Jack: Thank you for enriching my life.
