[Fot] Yet another great passes!

[Bill Tobin]

Ironic.
I was at Summit Point over the weekend, just spectating as I'd been under 
the weather for a few days.
The Grand Marshal was John Morton and at the dinner last night he gave an 
interesting talk. During his presentation he mentioned that he was at an 
autograph session sitting next to Sir Jack, who was losing his hearing, and 
Sir Jack made a comment about a well endowed young lady who had just gotten 
an autograph. The comment got a huge laugh.
I remember him being known as Black Jack because of his constant 5 o'clock 
shadow.
