as well known in american americana as he is in europe and south asia.s spread the virtues of the sport to millions around the globe. who else but jack could find his picture printed in the united kingdom on a note? the first living person, outside the royal family, to be featured on british currency. who else could take a boyfriend club's christi texas named james reagan, fighting terminal cancer, bring him to the village, give him hope for more gears the and doctors ever expected. i saw that loving touch firsthand. there are many others. jack and barbara reemphasized their true calling. children's health care. they have raised, over the last 10 years, $35 million for the nicklaus children's health care foundation.
