Gerald (Gerry) Kent:  

I just came back to California after visiting the Rowley area for three weeks. I was staying at the Jewel Mill property in Rowley for two weeks, and Hampton Beach for a week. The weather was the best ever at that time of year.......perfect ! Life I originally came to California as a Field Engineer for Adams/Russell of Amesbury in 1983. I was sent out as a technical advisor during the installation and testing of their RF Coaxial Cables used on the B1-Bomber Aircraft. I've been an artist and photographer all my life, and now I operate an Advertising/Design business. College I continue to take classes at the local Antelope Valley College. I try to stay "cutting edge" by taking computer based Multimedia classes. Workplace I own and operate an Advertising/Multimedia Design business called Ad/Art & Design. Military I spent 4 years during the Viet Nam War as a Marine Corps Missile Fire Control Technician working on F-4 Phantom Aircraft. Life I have two sons, Jeremy, who lives in Wakefield, MA., with his wife Pam and children Alex and Rachel. And my younger son Jericho, who lives in Georgetown with his wife Kelly, and their children Kierra, Ayden and Brady. I've been married some, and single some, and lived with a few I didn't marry. I guess you could say I've been a lover AND a fighter. I've been and done a lot of different things. And none of it really matters in the Grand Scheme of Life. Today I'm just me...period. None of it makes any difference. I had the good fortune of being in Georgetown last year, and visiting with friends and family. I played a lot with my grandkids, and had the opportunity to have breakfast with four old female friends from High School one day. It didn't really matter all those years in between. What really mattered was who I was being on that day. Today, when I really feel good about myself...and who I Am, is when I'm doing something to help someone else. That makes me feel alive and abundant, and a vital part of life, as I understand it today. It's not all about what I have done in the past. It's all about who and what I'm being today that matters. This evening I am auditioning for a paid acting job in the stage version of "PROOF." Now thats a rush !!! Where else is a 60 year old guy going to get that kind of a rush at my age...legally? UPDATE: Got the part I auditioned for, ROBERT. Anthony Hopkins played the roll in the 2005 movie, with Gwyneth Paltrow. This is the stage version that won a Pulitzer Prize for the author, David Auburn in 2001. January 2010..."Life is Good" Update March 2010 I am thinking about taking a trip back to MA sometime soon. I've made no defined plans yet. I'm thinking about buying a motorcycle to keep back there. I did the lead part in proof that I was talking about above. That all went well. After I finshed that play I was asked to take over the lead role...Expand for more
