WHERE ARE THEY NOW?Jack Norris and Dr. Richard Young Jack Norris joined Pi Gamma Mu in 1958 at the Connecticut Alpha chapter at Trinity College. He received his M.B.A. degree from American University in 1964. In 2009, finding himself unemployed, Mr. Norris decided to go back to college, so he enrolled in a local community college. He stated, “Senior-citizen centers depressed me!" While he was taking a civil-rights course, his professor, Dr. Robert Young, encouraged him to publish three articles he had written many years ago. One of those articles was a Negro Market Study he had done 46 years ago for his employer at the time. This study looked at the shopping habits of black people when advertising was still segregated. Mr. Norris contacted American University about the report, and faculty members there were very interested in keeping it for research and historical purposes. He was invited to return to American University to give a presentation related to the report. Mr. Norris wrote what has come to be the second most important publication received at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. He will also be published in Trains magazine this summer for another report he had written while a student at Trinity College about the train situation in Pennsylvania back in the 1960s. He has published five articles in major newspapers since 2009 and has three publications in major libraries and an important publication which was received by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He has been on a local television station with a segment entitled "Employment Advice for Seniors.” Mr. Norris has worked for General Electric and owned two businesses during his career.
