Jack Ginder - a truly great guy! Usually inseperable from brothers Jerry, Jim, and John D, and often accompanied by his friends and having a great time, laughing, joking, telling funny stories that sometimes were even true :) I spent many memorable moments at the Ginder house and most of my sophomore year with Jack. Some of my greatest high school memories are of times spent with Jack, Jerry and my best friend Darlene Brown. "Dragging Main Street" was never so much fun as when all four of us were together.
