Jerry's Story
After good old OAHS I went to Pitt with Malcolm and Char and rarely saw Char but was two doors down from Malcolm and that was one of the best years of my life! Made a lot of great friends.
Went back to Pitt soph yr but not in a good place so I quit, worked a little, lived with my fun aunt Susan in Atglen, Pa.
Went to West Chester for a year and hung out mostly with my cousin Brian. Talked him into going to Pitt and unfortunately he died in a car accident that fall near Chadds Ford. That shook up my life for a while. I still wonder where he'd be now.
Decided to run the family junk yard for a year or two and everyone knows how fun it is to run a junkyard?? My family?? hello...
Left Oxford in 1990 after sharing a house with Kirstan (that was tons of fun until she selfishly had to get married) Miss you Kirt!!
Worked for Delmarva Powe...Expand for more
r for 11 years going between slower, lower Delaware and Wilmington in various careers within the company. Finished my BA at Salisbury University.
In 2000 I met my partner, Payam. He is an endodontist and offered me the best job of my life--I manage our two offices in Bel Air, Md and Berlin, Md (near Ocean City).
He was divorced and had a daughter, Yasmin, we have custody of her (get along great with her mother, knock on wood). She is now 11 going on 20 and pretty much our entire lives revolve around her (unlike my childhood where peace marches, saving Mexicans from Russian terrorists, sending non-infected blankets to Native Americans in Oklahoma and other worthwhile bs came first with my parents---no, I'm not too bitter, ha, ha).
That's pretty much it for now. I blabbed on too much! Hope everyone in our class is healthy and happy!!
