Glad to hear the news Paul! Maybe Jack has a future as the new "Hathaway Man" his military retirement.

"Hathaway is most famous for its "man with an eye patch" advertising campaign, which was created by Ogilvy & Mather in 1951.[2] The man who appeared in the ad was Baron George Wrangell, who was a Russian aristocrat with 20/20 vision,[3] but the advertisement's creator, David Ogilvy, was inspired by a picture of Lewis Douglas, who had lost an eye in a fishing accident.[4] The "Hathaway man" campaign was selected by Advertising Age as #22 on its list of the greatest ad campaigns of the 20th century.[5]

The "Hathaway man" reappeared in a 1993 sketch on Saturday Night Live, where he was played by Phil Hartman sans moustache. The Hathaway man works to get a discouraged hand model who lost part of a finger in a car accident back into modeling"
