JACKSON, DOUGLAS D. It is with great shock and sadness that we announce the sudden death of Douglas D. Jackson at his home in Fredericton on December 21, 2008. Born March 3, 1929, he was the son of Bailey and Josephine (DeWitt) Jackson. Doug was an educator, teaching and holding principalships in Ortonville, Black's Harbour, McAdam, Campobello, Bath, Florenceville and Debec. He served in the Department of Education in various posts, including Director of Educational Services. He was a Dean of the New Brunswick Community College in Saint John and later set up his own company, Jackson & Henry, for vocational training and development. Doug was keenly interested in helping young people achieve their potential.
