Unlike the incredibly rich site http://www.jacksjoint.com/seatales.htm where my brother posted stories of Coast Guard, Navy, and other service personnel, I'm starting out offering what everyone in the world wants: my opinions.
This is new to me so be patient as I work out editing, length, and content issues. I'll try not to be trite. I'll try to put together bits of information and ideas from a wide variety of sources so that what I offer may be a little bit different.
Your words of wisdom will mean a lot to me so pass them on to me via "Contact" in "View my complete profile."
I write/edit both Jerry's Place and the blog for Associates in Advocacy (AIA). I get only one profile to put in both. For more on AIA, go to their website.
Born in 1935, I was raised mostly in Waukesha, WI. I attended the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and in Madison for a BS in Anthropology (1958). SMU's Perkins School of Theology granted me a BD in 1962. By then, Ann and I had been married three years. I served churches in Wisconsin. We adopted David (1965) and Karen (1968). I received a Masland Fellowship in 1967 and attended Union Theological Seminary in New York for a school year. In 1985, Ann went to New Orleans in a career move and I took five years' leave of absence. In 1990, we returned to pursue our careers in Wisconsin and retired in 1995, moving back to Slidell, LA, where we had previously lived. I focussed on writing and Associates in Advocacy responsibilities. In 2003, we moved to Port Charlotte, FL, to take care of Ann's mother and stayed on after she passed away. Surviving Hurricane Charlie, we live in active retirement.
