Jerry's Story
Life
I went to school and traveled for 8 years after high school. In 1974 I returned to Anchorage and began practicing law.
I was Municipal Attorney in Anchorage through the late 70s and 80s.
I took a year off to travel in the Andes during 1988.
In 1989 I joined a firm that specialized in Oil & Gas law. My main client was the State of Alaska and most of my work was litigation against the North Slope Producers (Arco, BP and Exxon) for underpayment of taxes and royalties.
At the 25th East reunion in 1990 I met Nancy Wimmer and we were soon married. Many great adventures since then.

part-time work, fall traveling somewhere in the world by land and winter on our sailboat in the West Indies.
Our winter base has been Trinidad for the last five years, but we will likely sail back to the US in '08 and keep our boat in the Chesapeake Bay for winter cruises to the Bahamas. We have had three grandchildren recently and are now not wanting to be away from home for more the a couple months at a time.
Update: Nov. '08.
Sailed from Trinidad to VA. during the winter, toured National Parks in new Sprinter Travel Van in the Summer, stumped for Obama and Begich in the Fall while crossing US in Van. Now planning winter '09 in Ecuador and Argentina.
