Knowing Jack • Oklahoma Daily adviser to retire next spring By Althea Peterson“He has the uncanny ability of being really quiet while giving you advice on how to not get a bad grade again,” Heister said. “You couldn’t be angry, because you know exactly what you did wrong and how to improve.
“You could ask him any questions and he would never tell you what to do, but would make you feel better and that would help you make decisions, or re-think decisions.” Foote said the college’s alumni group JayMac will honor Willis, along with distinguished alumni John Brooks, Leland Gourley, Linda Pazlik and young professional Hannah Allam at this year’s banquet 7 p.m. Oct. 13. Willis, as someone who “saw how fast your health can deteriorate,” said after his spring retirement, he will have time to promote his first book, “Saving Jack.” But, that’s not until next year. “I believe in fate. When things happen, there’s usually a reason,” Willis said. “This move (to OU) certainly was good for me. You can’t beat the university environment.” Althea Peterson 366-3539 apeterson@normantranscript.com
