Documents
There are many documents that Jack has written or developed. During his period
in rural Ontario, for example, he wrote a weekly column in the local newspaper
("Sidney Chips"). He has written articles for church magazines,
newspapers, courses, and special occasions. He was even the inspiration for
a cartoon character that ran in the Ubysee - the student newspaper. As mentioned
as part of his prayers, he authored the United Church Lenton booklet in 1985.
Perhaps you have some materials he worked on that you would like to share.
