Jack was also a natural born singer. No doubt he sang in the cradle, but the first formal singing he did was as a choir boy in church, starting at the age of 8 or so. He never stopped. After moving to Washington D.C., he joined the men’s a cappella group The Augmented Eight, and sang with them for 40 years.
