What happened to Jack Launtz?

[SLHetal]

Jack was a very generous person. He often shared information and pictures from his personal collection. He also would spend plenty of time on the phone with me offering any assistance he could. He is missed.

Peridodically, a name from my past pops into my head, and I go searching. I am amazed and saddened and still amazed again to have found Jack on these opages. Jack was my first serious boyfriend. I was 18 , a college kid, and madly smitten with this handsome boy, but iin truth I was also smitten with his maroon Corvette - I think it was a '67.or '68 model. I seem to remember that it had dual overhead cam shafts, and to this day I have no idea what a cam shaft is. For Christmas that year, Jack gave me a 14kt gold charm, a Corvette, of course. Over 40 years later, married with children and grandchildren, and living in Australia, I still have the charm bracelet and the golden Corvette. But I never see the real thing, a passing classic '60s 'Vette, that I don't think of that dashing young Jack, and my heart smiles.
