The Jack of Diamonds was just over 20.  He couldn't care less about
his father, and because of the absence of a stern disciplinary figure,
he rebelled against anything for any reason.  In spite of spending the
last few years in the military, he truly has no discipline.  The only
time he demonstrated responsibility to himself was when he went to his
father's funeral.

The Jack of Hearts was, indeed, a redhead.  He had lost his virginity
at 12 with his 15-year old male cousin, and then at 13 with his sister.
I don't know what he wanted, but i know it wasn't sex.  He had tried
every perversion and deviance in the book and out of it.  Since he
gave and received everything, he does not date any more.

The Jack of Clubs was one bitter misanthrope.  He didn't even try to
get along with people.  He just dismissed them without so much a
consideration of their feelings or humanity.  We were best friends
throughout high school and college.

The Jack of Spades was a mystery to all who knew him.  Nobody really
knew when he was serious or joking.  His suicide note simply read,
"Why am i smiling?"
