Jerry's Story
Life
Hi everybody. I sincerely hope you're all doing well. I very nostalgically remember my Madison High and University of Tennessee years, especially the friendships developed; and, particularly believe those of us who grew up in Madison, TN during the 50s & 60s were all so fortunate.
I was a pharmacist in the Nashville area for 22 years; but, in 1992 I decided to try making a career change. I kept my pharmacy license, but sold my drugstore and followed my long-standing interest in the social sciences, particularly psychology.
I received an M.S. in Psychology in 1999 and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology in 2007 (better late than never, I guess). My pre-doctoral internship was completed at the University of Notre Dame, where I enjoyed some great football and basketball games. I had a private psychotherapy practice in the Nashville area (Music Row area) but retired in 2015.
My wife Jane (a former librarian at Vol State) and I live in Mt. Juliet, TN. In my spare time, I've been playing some music again (we got most of our old rock-R&B band "The Cavaliers" back together in 2002; and I've been playing drums in a contemporary Christian praise band since 2008).
I'd really appreciate hear...Expand for more
ing from any of my MHS or UT classmates.
Go Rams! Go Vols!

BTW: I always thought I wanted to be a pharmacist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right for most pharmacists, but I eventually grew a little tired of the same routine. I finally decided to try something different and pursued another long-time interest, psychology. I remember watching a movie on television about a psychiatrist when I was about 10 years old. And I remember being impressed with how intelligent and wise the psychiatrist seemed. It appeared he could help people remember things from their childhood, and that, by remembering, his patients were somehow cured of some deep psychological trauma. [Or, maybe I just wanted to be the patient (not sure).] I just know I was impressed with the whole process. I suppose that explains as well as anything the beginnings of my passion for providing psychotherapy. I believe I finally found my calling. Of course, I also wanted to either be a disc jockey or a drummer in a famous rock band. I guess (as Mick Jagger says) "You don't always get what you want; but you get what you need." Maybe that's what we should all hope for...
