A photo of Jack Lamberti enhances the Lake Forest High School Wall of Excellence, honoring student athletes who exemplify outstanding performance, leadership, spirit, and sportsmanship. He captained the varsity golf and baseball team his senior year. He was a varsity player in both sports all four years of high school, during which he exemplified the grit and commitment that were an integral part of his Italian roots.
Jack is the great grandson of Franco Lamberti, who emigrated with his family from Italy in 1955. To Franco, the United States meant opportunity, jobs and a better future for his wife, children and generations to come. The family settled in Highwood, Illinois.
