Jerry's Story
It seems like such a long time ago that we were in high school. Oh thats right it was a long time ago. Sometimes I look in the mirror in the morning and it startles me when I see the old guy looking back. But I'm not complaining, I have been blessed with good health, four great kids and a great wife. I have had all the success I deserved and maybe a little more.
I have lived in Las Vegas since 1980. I did my part in building the casinos and hotels and the things that went with them.

and many times I knew I should catch up with you but it just seemed like there weren't enough hours in the day and the more it piled up the more I procrastinated. I look forward to posting some stuff to sort of chronicle what happened in my life the last 30 years or so since I left Seattle. And more than that I look forward to communicating with the friends of my youth, I am sure you all have some great stories to tell.
