Isn't Jack is such an 09er? He did grow up over on Argyle and went to Trinity. Did you see what he was wearing? Stinky old Alden tassel loafers, madras shorts, a Sorbonne t-shirt, and his grandfather's Rolex on a grosgrain ribbon. But he *is* very nice to the help and volunteers at St Luke's every Sunday, and was a part of the Rey Feo court in 2004. I think his grandmother lives in the penthouse of Bushnell and is kind of a pill popper, too.
