Jack's Real Name? - BK Akitas - 01-19-2007

Not sure if this was ever a subject on here, but I gotta ask...
I was going back over some of the edits between the original pb The Tomb and the Borders Press hc release of Rakoshi looking for changes (I was having a really bad day yesterday and needed a diversion).
I noticed that when Jack went off the play tennis with his dad, he made sure he had the finest NY state license money could buy- in the name of Jack Howard.
I can't recall any other instance of this surname being used.
And I'm thinking, if I had my dad in the car with me and I got pulled over and needed to show some ID, it had probably better have the name he gave me on it.

I still need that diversion so can we kick this one around a while?????

It's been kicked around before. These are just two threads germaine to your topic. They came up in a brief search. One thread is named "Jack's Last Name" and another "Does Anyone Know Jack's Last Name?"

I think this pretty much sums up the answer to what is Jack's last name. Big Grin

I just checked that part, but I couldn't find "Howard". But I guess Paul suggested a hint of his surname in that part. After the tennis, Jack and Thomas drink whisky, Jack Daniels.......Oh-forget-about-it! :o

I thought it was Iverson because of Kate, but she could have kept her married name for the kids.

Well, BK, I put my 2 cents in on an older thread. My belief is Jack is of Irish parentage because of a phrase his dad used in GATEWAYS: "Squeeze the life out of him.." My foster-folks were of Irish stock, I heard the phrase there first from Daddy, and have =never= heard it used by anybody but the Irish. Just putting another 2 cents in the meter...Wink

I've heard it often and it had nothing to do with Irish ancestry some of the time. Maybe Jacks Puerto Rican.

You've "heard it often," have you? Yeah, right.

Why are you so hostile tonight?

That's a differant thread, what's wrong with this one? As far as I know, nothing.
