Jackie and company thrilled us in high school with our version of "Friday Night Lights;" in the spring, we braved cold nights watching him pitch in Babe Ruth baseball games and one summer night we foolishly sat outdoors in the middle of a thunderstorm watching him pitch in an All-stars game as a transformer exploded above our heads. We caught glimpses of what his future would be, whether he held class or student council offices or debated in the classrooms. As a teenager he once performed an individual road project on Alabama 21 North near his beloved Munford while relocating large farm equipment from one soybean field to another; some forty years later those accidental markings were finally resurfaced. We friends held our collective breath along with Billy, Mama Swinford and Joe when he faced emergency heart surgery during his early college career -- exhaling once word came he would recover. All of this before he reached his 20s. Later in life found him sporting a newsboy cap and knickers as he turned out fashionably for a local charity golf tournament as if it was standard uniform. His family was always his love. Jackie gave us so many thrilling and chilling memories -- ones we will continue to treasure. Can't we all picture him now throwing the football with Joe as Billy and Mama Swinford watch from the sidelines? Jackie, loved dearly, missed tremendously. May our love and memories wrap around Katie and help comfort her in the time to come. ~ Beth Copeland French, TA class of '79
