In particular, Kenneth Gardner, track coach and athletic director, 1951-1988, was instrumental in mentoring Jackson, who would go on to serve the country during events such as the September 11, 2001 attacks on the nation and Hurricane Katrina. Jackson continued his relationship with Truman in later years, providing leadership to his alma mater by serving on the Board of Governors from 1994-2001.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0To honor Jackson\u2019s leadership, service and achievement, Pickler Memorial Library will permanently house a collection of items acquired during his years in HUD.
