After his service he earned his B.S. in Pharmacy from the University of Nebraska in 1958. He then went to the University of Washington for his graduate studies, and he obtained his M.S. and Ph. D. degrees in Pharmacognosy (completed in 1959 and 1961, respectively) under the mentorship of Varro (Tip) Tyler. In 1961, Jack started his teaching career at the University of North Carolina, rising through the ranks until he retired in 1987. Jack chaired the ASP Local Program Committee twice when he hosted the annual meeting at the University of North Carolina in 1961 and an International meeting in 1985. In addition to being a popular teacher and prepharmacy counselor at the University of North Carolina, Jack was the computer expert for the College of Pharmacy in the early 1980’s, and he was responsible for the introduction of computers into the student record system.
