Jerry's Story
Life
After serving four years in the United States Navy after graduation I have had numerous life experiences that have included travel throughout Europe, homesteading in Missouri, directing summer camp and after school programs and teaching in urban schools.

I now work at the Metropolitan Learning Center for Global and International Studies, a Nationally recognized Magnet School of Distinction in Bloomfield, CT.

I am now working on doing more writing for magazines and have begun work on a book that would relate some of the insights and lessons learned from my experiences in a technologically advanced school environment.

At present we have 4 daughters, Kaela, Alexa, and the twins Emme & Tess both born in Feb. of 2000. I would be very interested in hearing from other Morton alums, Indy Crewmates or college classmates that have positive memories of me from those bygone days. (Of course if you have negative memories of me you can share those as well but I might not write back ;-)
