Me with my child bride last summer.
This was at a friend of ours daughter's wedding. My bosses name is Carmen.
Thanks Chuck and Stuart: I don't know everyone. I just enjoy putting up stories for others to enjoy. I am 66 years young today.

This is from last summer at Elkhart Lake. Doug Lueck and his wife Pam ran Siebkens Hotel in Elkhart Lake in the day. I was going through Elkhart Lake last summer and stopped in too see them.

Jerry, Happy Birthday to you, buddy! You're one of the linchpins of TNF -- keep up the great work!

I try not to act my age, but I certainly look it. You, on the other hand, neither act it nor look it!

This is 1972 our friend Annie, Me and my wife Carmen and my mother in law Ann Jirgl.
We are getting ready to go to the F-5000 race at Donnybrooke to help Sid Taylor. I was helping Peter Gethin in the Chevron B-24 F-5000 car.
I just want to thank all my friends on the forum for their kind wishes. And Mallory Dan , and Erin.
Howden is way better looking. But thanks for the compliment.

Thanks again too all. That picture of me looking at Tom Hollfelder's Chaparral was from the Elkhart Vintage races. Tom Hollfelder does such a wonderful job of bringing his cars to these Vintage meets for the fans to enjoy. I felt very badly for him, he is trying to keep his car original and it was such a hassle to fire that engine with the setup he was running. It flooded out on him on the line and wouldn't fire. Thank you Paul Medici for helping me on so many threads with your great pictures. Also thank you for teaching me how to post photos.

I echo the sentiments of all the previous posters. Very best wishes for your 66th, Jerry, and thanks for seeking out all of those stories and photos that help to make TNF such a great place to spend some time. And thanks to Carmen for allowing you some time at the computer keyboard, away from the household chores.

Alan: My wife Carmen has been as you say on Holidays. She has been in California with her girl friends. She has asked me will she be surprised tonight when she comes home. I told her Oh Ya. I haven't exactly got my household chores done. As a matter of fact I never started them. I hope her coming home on my birthday will save me.

Happy Birthday Jerry !

Note to others: this man will not only make nice comments about total strangers on the forum, if he knows their telephone number he will call and talk with them for a while. Jerry is the kind of guy who can make a paddock a friendly place in spite of all the adrenaline and testosterone in the air. He's our favorite greeter and facilitator on TNF.

After having corresponded with Jerry via e mail for some time, I finally met him at the Road America historics last July. What a ball of energy! It was a pleasure meeting you Jerry, I enjoy our correspondence and telephone conversations, I look forward to seeing you this July, and Happy Birthday indeed!
