The beginning of our podcast starts off by Jack discussing his love for football. He was able to meet with the owners of the Jacksonville Jaguars and he was involved with the Superbowl  in 2005. He felt that the NFL did a wonderful job making this event accessible to those who were handicap. When the city of Jacksonville approached him to help design the new Alltel Stadium, was to make it accessible to those who were handicap. He talks about how much of a challenge it was to present the idea of this new stadium. He eventually was able to persuade the builders to pursue this new stadium.

It was a 31 hour flight  but when he landed in Cape Town, South Africa, he was amazed that there was no barriers at the airport for the handicap. He spent his time hunting on his safari and the pictures and articles on the walls of his office certainly prove how amazing this trip really was to Jack.
One of Jack's fondest memories is when he met his wife. He talks about how he was set up with her on a blind date and how they would talk on the phone all the time. He felt that it was love at first sight. Jack and his wife have been married for
The podcast ends with Jack discussing the Jack Gillrup Award. The City of Jacksonville created this award   to be presented to an individual in the disability community who has made achievements and has been involved in the community. Jack usually presents the award to the winner each year.
