Jack+and+Conor.jpg

This website was created by Jack’s grandson, Conor.

Thanks to family for contributing and in particular to John, Patrick, Oonagh (Mum), and Patrick Leo.

The photo is of Jack and Conor in Nairobi in 1978. During that trip, at 73 years old, Jack got his first view of a tea farm during a trip to Kericho in central Kenya.
