THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
Geologists, and a member of the Geological Society of Washington. He received the Meritorious Service Award of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1987.
Jack will long be remembered by his colleagues for his meticulous attention to detailed and accurate descriptions of geologic features, and for his insistence that any interpretation was inadequate unless it explained all observed features. His maps and reports on the Michigan iron ranges, in particular, are a timeless contribution to knowledge of U.S. mineral resources.
Jack enjoyed photography and world travel, and was active in the Science and Religion Group of the Cedar Lane Unitarian Church in Bethesda, Maryland. He was also an associate member of the Woman’s National Democratic Club. Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Peggy Lou Davis Gair; his daughter, Cynthia; his sons, Dan and Philip; his grandaughter, Aja; and two brothers, David and Robert. Jack’s family, his many friends, and his geologic work were the cornerstones of his life.
