A career educator, he earned a bachelor’s degree, two master’s degrees, and two doctorates, largely courtesy of the GI Bill. In a lifetime of writing, he prepared dissertations, grants, newsletters, reports, theses, and speeches.
Married for fifty years, the Jacksons have five children and nine grandchildren. Richard presents his tale as testimony to the resilient character of Chicago’s citizens. While realizing that no single novel can fully capture the city’s greatness, he hopes Chicago Pre-Boomers takes a step in that direction.view less
