Jack has been included in Who's Who in America, 2008 edition.

I was informed by mail several months ago that I was nominated to be included in the next edition of Who's Who in America. I wrote up a biography that includes my education, job experience, awards, certifications, licenses, etc. plus personal accomplishments and hobbies. The Who's Who books arrived here yesterday, and the following is the posting as it appears in the Who's Who book. It contains a lot of abbreviations, so ask me if you don't understand something about it.

Many thanks to whomever nominated me for this recognition.
