Jack Pollet came from Belgium to Montreal and worked at Imperial Tobacco before being hired as a Math teacher at S.L.C. He also taught a wine-making course in the early years, which was well attended. Jack bought a farm on Burnt Hill Road, and contracted the building of his home – a fairly large one story building with full basement. Jack taught at the Kingston campus for over 30 year and died within two years of retiring sometime toward the end of the 1990s.
