The highlight of Jack's adventures were the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Jack earned the highest honor in scouting completing his eagle scout rank in which he helped bring new soccer fields to Del Rio. Jack's Eagle project was literally the construction of the first youth soccer fields in Del Rio. The association started the year before and played here and there at baseball fields and such. This was a huge project for a young person involving heavy equipment excavators, graders, trenches and such. Water supply, sprinklers plumbing, storage shed construction and many, many volunteers. Also involved was a referee clinic to provide training to volunteers. No one had been around soccer before that. This project received recognition from the head of the President's Council of fitness, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jack graduated from Del Rio High School in the Spring of 1990.
