I hope you are well. My best wishes from South of the Border to your family

Thank you. Was this the guy that they called Happy Jack? :)

However I remember a "Scratchy Jack" who worked in the Stake & Chain wagon on the Cole Show.; 07 December, 2011 07:54

I am always amazed at what a small world show business is. I never knew "Scratchy Jack" but "Itchy Ike" worked with me year's ago. I wonder if they were related or at least knew each other. :)
