On Wednesday May 18th, 2011, the Hon. Hal Jackman and Dr. Eric Jackman were feted at Trinity College by members of the NATO Council. These two gentlemen have outlayed a tremendous amount of time and resources to ensure that the Council remains on a firm footing. The Hon. Bill Graham particularly highlighted the formative roll played by the Hon. Hal Jackman in building the NATO Council in the sixties and seventies. The event was attended by many members of the Jackman family which further contributed to the community atmosphere.
