He has produced several publications, including an analysis of organochlorine residues in butter fat for the CODEX Committee on Pesticide Residues International Collaborative Study ( NQ 632 95042/5 ) - issued by the Department of Primary Industry, Pesticides Section, Canberra - Australian Publishing Service 1976.

He has been a member of ANZAAS.
My information is that Jack has some aspirations as a good home gardener and photographer ! According to Joan Betty Snelson and Connie Skey Wynn ( nee Snelson ), Jack was supported through University by his family; at one time he may have been employed by Ciba-Geigy.
The above data probably trivialises his achievements and the importance of his work, but it is all that I have to go on at the moment. If I have made some mistakes in fact, emphasis or flavour, then the fault is mine - I would gladly put the record straight. [:CR:]. |
