Jack Pitman graduated from Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1957 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant through the Reserve Officer Training Corps and designated an administrative officer. He was assigned in England and then France at Toul-Rosières Air Base. It’s there he met his future wife, Ann Marie, in 1962; she worked as a civilian base employee. Pitman left active duty in 1962 and remained in the Air Force Reserve. As a reservist, he had various assignments. He was attached to the Pentagon for three years. He was the reservist to the base commander at Griffiss Air Force Base, New York, and lastly, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, where he eventually retired. One of his collateral duties was U.S. Air Force Academy liaison officer, interviewing potential candidates for admission. In his civilian life, Pitman was a chief chemist with various companies during his career. When employed by Massachusetts Electric, he was their environmental compliance officer, ensuring the company met environmental protection standards. He and his wife of 61 years, Ann Marie, have owned a home in Palm Coast since 1987 and moved here permanently in 1995. Pitman was a member of the exploratory committee to investigate whether Palm Coast should incorporate into a city. He also sat on the committee that helped open a county library in the fledgling city. He is a past president of the Flagler Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and former treasurer of MOAA’s Florida Council of Chapters. The Pitmans have two sons: Michael, still residing in Massachusetts; and Mark, who lives in Palm Coast.
