I first met Jack Piotrow, my mother’s first cousin, when I was nine years old. He was leaving the Port of New York to sail to England for his Rhodes Scholarship, and we saw him off. (Later that day, I went to my first and only World Series game where I saw the Yankees beat the Dodgers 9-6.) Quite a day!
I visited Jack when I came to Washington, DC from California and then when I attended American University (where he taught) on its Washington Semester Program in 1965. He and I shared stories about professors who were teaching me for that semester.
Jack and I had only a few contacts until I visited him a few years ago in Olympia. He took me to lunch with a friend who gave both of us a tour of the State Capitol. I have toured all 50 of our state capitals, but this was the finest and most extensive tour of any of them.
Since then, Jack and I had stayed in touch through email and phone calls. I had been hoping to see him in September when I was planning to be in Washington for my niece’s wedding.
Jack’s enthusiasm for life was infectious. He was curious about everything I was doing, and we shared similar interests in tennis, politics and world affairs. He enriched my life.

Dear Family of Jack Piotrow,
I was saddened to hear of the sudden death of such a fine man. I served with him on the Washington Semester Faculty at American University in the early 1990s. He was a friendly, talented colleague and his presence certainly added quality and prestige to our wonderful program. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Jack was a truly outstanding professor, mentor, and colleague. I had the privilege and the joy of meeting him when I was graduate student in the School of International Service in the late 1970s, where he served as Dean and in other leadership roles. After completing my graduate studies in SIS in 1981, I went to work for the Inter-American Development Bank for a little longer than five years, but returned to teach in the Washington Semester Program, where I also had the most pleasant surprise of becoming his colleague as faculty member. Just as when I was a graduate student, Jack was most welcoming and helpful, as well as friendly and jovial. I will always remember him as a kind gentleman who went out of his way to mentor his students and young faculty colleagues. We all missed him when he retired from the faculty, and we will miss him now even more. My deepest sympathy to Martina, Christina, and all of Jack's relatives.
