    Jean, my heart goes out to you and your family. Jack Stowers was a great teacher and mentor. After approaching him about a poor grade I had made, he told me that a math instructor I would never be but if I continued on and was in class every day I would make it through. He helped me make that "B" for sure! He helped me much more than I thanked him for and he was such a wonderful instructor! He will truly be missed. May God Bless you and your family during this most difficult time.
