It is difficult at times to be able to express the influence and meaning an individual may have as they pass through life. As the scoutmaster of Troop 23, Jack France was a role model to hundreds of young men in their most formative years of life. To me, Jack France was one of the rocks in the foundation of my formative years. I can recall till this day, campouts where it would be pouring rain (it seemed it always rained on campouts) and Jack France in his cap and brown vest with a cigar in the corner of his mouth walking patrol site to patrol site, knowing each and every scout name making sure they were buttoned tight in the storm, giving direction, encouragement and guidance. I am a better man for knowing and having Jack France as part of my passage from a child to a young man...we all were better for him as being a part of our lives. Rest in Peace Jack as you sit by the eternal campfire in the garden of heaven. - Bruce Berger, Troop 23 1975-1982
