Fr. Jack is recovering at Weiss Memorial in Chicago. He had his knee repaired from a prior knee surgery. His bother reports that Fr. Jack is doing well and that the Doctor said if her were 50 hwe would be up and walking already, I'm sure he would appreciate any visitors from the Chicago area that he taught at Mendel. He was my good friend here in St. Louis while principal at Augustinian Academy and pastor at Immaculate Conception Parish.
I was blessed with having grown up (or should I say "raised", since growing up is optional) nextdoor to Father Jack's parents. He is one heckofa priest, and generaly great guy.
Father jack has been moved to Resthaven near Tolentine. He is recovering quickly. Father Bates his care giver informed the Augustinian Alumni in St. Louis that he is up a walking and should be back at Tolentine by Mid-June.
