Frank R. Jackson Jr. ’31

Born Oct. 10, 1908, "Horse" Jackson lived in Napa, Calif., for 30 odd years before finally moving to Port Jefferson, N.Y., where on Feb. 5, 2000, he died.

He prepared at the Taft School and at Princeton was a member of Cannon Club. Horse left Princeton in June 1929 and went to work for the Jones Silk Throwing Co. in Paterson, N.J., where he remained until WWI intervened. He spent three and a half years in the Army Air Force as a technical supply officer in the Pacific and held the rank of captain when he left the service.

He returned to Napa, where he became a stockbroker. An interesting sidelight of his career was his participation in the 100-Mile Ride for two years. This ride, commemorating the Pony Express Riders, goes from Lake Tahoe to Auburn and is done by horseback over a 24-hour period (he and his horse enjoyed it).

He is survived by one daughter, Sally B., and two grandsons. He also had a son who was born in Dec. 1946 and lived only a month. The class extends its deepest sympathy to the entire family.
