Jerry's Story
Life
OK,Here goes.What I've been up to since high school.After H.S. I went to MATC got married and went to work as an apprentice glazier at Lurie Glass in Milw.We have two kids that where born in this time period (Jeff now 32,Jeni now 29) Got tired of the cold in Milw and moved to Colorado in 1973 and have been here ever since.Started my own glass business in 1976 and ran that until 91. Got divorced in 1981(probably one of lifes biggest mistakes)Anyway,got into real estate in Denver and did pretty well intil the economy went south in the mid 80'(thats when I had one of my first epiphanies that money can't buy happiness -its nice but you can be poor and happy) So after losing nearly everything I decided to go back to school and get my undergrad degree.

I run(several marathons incuding NY twice) ski, play basketball with a bunch of old farts,bike, lift,play softball(old farts young women)and finally golf the real old farts game.I've discovered that learning is a life long pursuit and to stop learning is akin to death. I could go on philosophizing, but your probably sleeping all ready. I just hope Ms. Crowley would approve
