Jack was a member of the 398^th Bomb Group that was based at Nuthampstead in England. Allen Ostrom, Editor of Flak News (Seattle, WA), had included Jack and his wife Jean on many returns to Nuthampstead where they have made many wonderful friends. The Barkers’ (Tony and Greta) farm at Nuthampstead was the scene of our first tour where they held a 40’s style barn dance and our host families were Fred and Olive Fish and their daughter Lesley and Coral and Don Simpson (Don now deceased), and we have continued these friendships since 1988. An England group known as "Friends of the 398^th" always make our stay very enjoyable.
  Jack was a charter member of "Indiana Chapter of Ex POW’s" started by Leonard Rose, National Jr. Vice Commander and a good friend to all the Ex-POW’s. The meetings he holds every other month in Indianapolis should be attended by anyone that would like to hear what it was like when these men were taken prisoners. Their stories should give us pause to realize what they mean to all of us.
  Jack was also a member of Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite, Murat Shrine, Kiwani’s, American Legion, DAV, and Past Patron of the Eastern Star. Also 44 year member of First Presbyterian of Monticello where he was past deacon.
  He married Jeanetta "Jean" Pond 1-1-46. Daughters, Dr. Nancy Zeller, ECU, Greenville, N.C., Cherie Ross, Indianapolis; and son Randy Madlung, Monticello, Indiana. Grandsons Derek Madlung, Christian Zeller, Los Angeles and John Zeller, Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri.
