- Biography
- In 1951, a pantryman named Reginald B. Jackson appeared on a list of White House staff set to receive salary increases. This means he likely worked there prior to that year, but at this time, information about Jackson’s life is limited. As a pantryman, Jackson would have managed food supplies, shined silver, washed dishes, cleaned and organized the pantry spaces, and assisted with some food preparation. (1)
