At the time Jaxon was 5. Let me say after 2 tries Dave failed and Jaxon had 98% on expert. I lost my 15 year old grandson in October 2008 in a car accident. I am still working in the Mayor’s office. This is my 3^rd Mayor I have worked for. I was in DPW for 8 years before moving to the Mayor’s office. My husband works for DPW.

Burke, Victor (Jack)
Died August 16, 1995.
Received this note from Jack's sister:
Jack was in Viet Nam in 1968, and he was wounded in his arm and leg.
His first marriage was in 1969 to Bron. They had one daughter name Erin Burke. After his divorce he met and married Carol Maroff of Omaha, Nebraska. Carol has one son, Chris.
Jack was a self-employed carpenter, and he and Carol lived in Worthington, Indiana until his death from non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 1995.
The army declared his disease a result of agent orange after his death.
Jack was well-remembered at his memorial service by family and friends.
I am married to Jack's younger brother, Michael (BD 1968).
I have enjoyed your website. It is great!

I have been married to Priscilla Ballard for twenty eight years.  She went to Washington high school but I still love her anyway. When I left Ben Davis I went to work for Allison Transmission and retired in 2000. We go to Vegas a lot, and we love the Bahamas. Right now we are babysitting our great-grandkids, yes I said great-grandkids.  It shocks me also.
I hung out at the Park eat drive in probably too much.  Some people thought I lived there.
I ran around with Jim Weeks- Jerry Payne-Steve Hackleman-Ray Willis-Steve Ray and many that I have forgotten.  During the last forty years I drove race cars, earned a black belt in taekwondo, and did a lot of roller skating with Priscilla. Had to quit all of these things because it was killing me.  Healing time got longer as I got older.

Sales/Marketing Account Manager for Alfa Laval, Inc.
Married to Kathy Anne (Richards), a graduate of Manual High School (Indpls), for 24 + years (5/16/81), no children (unless you count me - she says I'm in my third childhood and that I more than make up for several children).
Due to family circumstances was never able to finish college - began working right after graduation from high school and have been going strong since 1965 (has it really been 40 years?).
Honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1970 after two tours of duty in Viet Nam. Received the Air Force Commendation Medal for meritorious service while in Viet Nam.
Currently a sales/marketing account manager with 400 customers and $6 million per year in gross sales. Work for a Swedish-owned (is there anything purely American anymore?) company that is international in its operations and supports nearly every business segment known (food, environmental, oil exploration, bio-chemicals, life sciences, shipping (cruise, industrial) - well, you get the picture!) - I've been with them since 1994. My customer base includes the vegetable oil, fish, meat, poultry, and brewery segments. All of the major U.S. companies in these business segments are my customers.
I have been an ordained deacon since 1981 and was ordained as a minister of the gospel on 4-25-1998 (my 51st birthday) and have been preaching the Word, teaching, performing weddings (and funerals), and now have about 30 churches in 8 states that I visit on a regular basis. I am in charge of the music ministry at my home church in Franklin, IN and am responsible for booking singing groups to appear at the church.
I am an accredited public speaker by Toastmasters International, the International Platform Guild, and the National Speaker's Association.
Hobbies: on very rare occasions I still judge high-school band contests, drum & bugle corps contests; I love to read (about 60 books a year), I love all kinds of music (except heavy-metal, rap) - my favorite is light jazz; I am a HUGE science-fiction fan (Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Andromeda, etc.); Kathy and I love to travel, we love to cook together, we watch the Food channel all the time (you would know this if you saw me in person - I'm nearly as round as I am tall! - the good news is that I'm not very tall!)
Well, this ought to be enough incriminating information for now....
