Jack Beers, DMN
39 years old in 1963; died in 1975
"I was there. I was prepared. But I didn't get it."
His daughter: "He never had as much confidence
in himself, he felt let down. Not by anybody in
particular. More by fate, I guess."
He died "with a depression that went untreated ...
all due to that picture."
Co-worker: "Jack somehow felt that God had
cheated him."
"Poor old Jack just had to sit back and take it,
never fully comprehending, I suppose, that it was
merely the difference in six-tenths of a second,
and there was nothing he could do about it."
