Jewett, Gerald A., Jr.: - For years, others had encouraged the storytelling Gerald A. Jewett, Jr. to pen a book about his fascinating life. But it wasn't until his eldest daughter offered her writing and editing skills (as a 91st birthday gift) that he decided it was finally time to transcribe the keen memories onto paper. Fourteen months later, 92-year-young "Jerry" became a published author! A retired lumberman by trade, a retired pilot by default, and a never-retired funnyman by choice, tales of his eclectic involvements and escapades over the decades always have a little something for everyone. As of this time of printing, Jerry still lives independently, drives himself to meetings and events around town, travels on occasion, and keeps other residents on their toes in his retirement village.
