BiographySwift: "Jack was born at 44 Harrington Road, Kensington, S.W., London, England, and was brought to the United States by his parents at the age of 9 months. He lived in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, and in various other locations in the United States and Canada until moving to Madison, Connecticut in 1935. He received a B.Sc degree from Trinity College, Hartford in 1942, served in the U.S. Army Air Force from 1942 to 1946 (in the Pacific Theater, discharged as a Captain), and married Frances Ellen Norton of Madison, Connecticut in 1946. He entered Yale University School of Engineering in 1946 and received a Bachelor of Engineering degree, with honors in civil engineering, in 1948. He worked as an engineer, planner and manager with various organizations in the U.S. and abroad from 1948 to 1998 (at least). The family lived in Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut from 1948 to 1958, in Iran from 1958 to 1963, and in Connecticut again from 1963 to 1970. With their children grown, Jack and Fran lived in suburban Washington, D.C. from 1970 to 1982. They subsequently lived in Ireland 1982-83 and in Saudi Arabia 1983-85. Between 1958 and 1998 Jack travelled, often with Fran (and after 1988 always accompanied by her), to dozens of other countries in the course of consulting assignments. He and Fran owned a home in Madison, Connecticut from 1952 to 1970 and a home in Kensington, Maryland from 1970 to 1982. Home from 1982 onward has been at Bay Point, Georgetown, Maine. From 1989 to 1994 Jack and Fran lived in Islamabad, Pakistan where he worked with the U.S. Agency for International Development. Returning to Georgetown in late 1994 to live, he continues to provide consulting services in international electric power development -- work which involved trips for both of them to Pakistan (four months) in 1996, to India (three weeks) in 1997 and India and Nepal (five weeks) in 1998. At the time of Fran's death in May, 1999, Jack and Fran had been planning a return trip to Nepal. Their three children all
live in the United States, as do their eight grandchildren and their great-grandchild."1
