Everyone knows Jack loved all things Cornelius. My friendship with Jack began when I was a staff member supporting historic preservation, about 20 years ago. I learned so much from Jack, especially when we developed the original Conard Collection exhibit at Oak Street Mill. A huge turnout over 3 weeks, including students from Cornelius Elementary. Jack was in his element! (And he loved using exclamation points!) A few years later we moved a large portion of the exhibit to Town Hall where it remains today for everyone to enjoy & learn what Jack devoted his life to. Jack was an original and will be deeply missed.
