Notes in Ancestry Jack Schultz left Australia and went to Pretoria in South Africa around 1920. He studied as a vet at Onestepoort (?). Following this he travelled to Kenya. Jack settled at Kabete in Nairobi, where he worked at the the veterinary laboratories. He met Gertrude (Gerty) and married. Jack was well known as a good dancer, swimmer and tennis player. Jack and Gerty travelled back to Australia regularly. Jack would entertain the travellers on the ocean liners by diving off the top of the ship. He was also a keen motorcyclist and was known to be a "wild man" in Nairobi - sometimes riding his motorbike into the New Stanley hotel lobby in Nairobi. Jack had contracted rheumatic fever when he was a child. This had weakened his heart and he died in Mombasa at 42.
