Nice! He’s also a former student of Eugene Shoemaker, and the only geologist to go to the Moon (so far). :’)

Super guy.

Lived in the same town he grew up in. Wife knew his mother from church. Wife helped with his re-election campaign. He was beaten by one of the most Leftist Dems.

Those were good days.

He is also a AGW denier, hee hee hee

Have some memorabilia from those events.

I did not know about the connection to Shoemaker. Jack's father was a mine engineer. Think Jack was actually born at Santa Rita. Part of the born in space group. (the town is open air above the pit for the mine. hee hee hee

We lived in Silver City from 1972-1986.

I was politically involved there in the 1980’s. That had nothing to do with how I made a living. Was a traveling salesman for a wholesale distributor.
