battling
Parkinson's Disease for many
years. He was born on April
21, 1940 in Wayne, MI, the
son of Lawrence and Lillian

subsequently a founding

Rotary Club for 40 years and
served on the board of the
Oakwood Foundation. Jerry
and Judi were renowned for
great entertaining at their
home on Sugarloaf Lake and
are remembered for hosting
children's visits with Santa
Claus and countless holiday
and lake parties. Jerry was
an accomplished boat driver
for competitive water ski tour-
naments. He enjoyed golfing
with his friends and his four
sons and loved attending
sporting events of his chil-
dren and his grandchildren.
Jerry had an ardent interest
in Native American culture
and artifacts and travelled the
western United States exten-
sively with Judi. They took
each of the grandchildren on
a special trip to Yellowstone
and the Tetons where they
went on guided tours, river
rafting, and were sometimes
chased by buffalo. After
every trip, GaGa (Grandpa
Jerry) handwrote an album
for the grandchild, a memen-
to that is cherished by each.

children: Philip (Kirstin),
Krystn (Robert), Martin
(Nancy), David (Kelly), and

Calendar of events
between a family sleeping on the
cold streets or in an abandoned car
andhaving ahotmeal and a bed.
It soundsmelodramatic, we know,
but it is unfortunately true that this
is the condition of our society today.
If you can find any way to help,
when you hear the bell or see the
red kettle, please give whatever you
can. If you have children or grand-
children with you, tell them what
you are doing, and why. Teach them
about helping others and being
thankful and grateful for all they
have, no matter how much or how
little thatmight be.
A better world for us all begins
with each of us caring enough to
help others. Now is the best time to
set that example and teach our chil-
dren how important that role is in a
full life.
That lesson will be one of the
things theywill be thankful to you for
and hopefully, pass along to future
generations.
phrase “united we stand, divided
we fall”, it is clear that we all need
to come together.
We have a simple question to
answer before this goal can
become a reality, though. What are
we tounify behind?
Shall we unify behind an indi-
vidual? How about a single politi-
cal party? As a student of history, I
would recommend that we avoid
either of these approaches as they
tend not to endwell. In their stead,
though, I would submit that the
best choice would be to unify
behind the core principles that all
of us have unified behind since our
founding. After all, America is a
land of ideals. While we are a land
of many individuals and multiple
political parties, we were founded
on one common set of truths.
These truths are defined in the
Declaration of Independence and
codified into law via our U.S.
Constitution.
The
Declaration
of
Independence bound us together
at a time when outside forces
threatened to tear us apart. When
our Founding Fathers found their
backs against the wall, they chose
tomake the following bold declara-
tion: “We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are creat-
ed equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien-
able Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov-
erned…”.
The Preamble of our U.S.
Constitution goes so far as to attest
that the purpose of that document
is “to form a more perfect union”.
If our goal is to unify our country,
perhaps we should give it another
look.
Adherence to the principles
within these documents has kept
our constitutional republic togeth-
er for over 225 years. During that
same time period, there have been
15 new constitutions in France and
4 in Russia. No country in exis-
tence today has lived under the
same governance framework
longer than the United States of
America. Clearly, these documents
have stood the test of time.
What remains is for us to reded-
icate ourselves to the truths they
contain. Thomas Jefferson once
remarked that “eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty”. If we are truly
interested in unifying our nation, I
humbly request that each of us
commit ourselves to reading the
full text of the Declaration of
Independence and the U.S.
Constitution.
They are not long documents.
For the time it takes to watch a TV
show, we can each do our part to
helpunify our country.
Once you have read each docu-
ment, I encourage you to test the
words and policies of politicians
against the principles found in
these documents. If our elected
officials veer away from these prin-
ciples, it is time for a unified “We
the People” to remind them that
their just powers are derived “from
the consent of the governed”.

them.
Who knew that 19 people want-
ed aWeezer guitar?
Anyway, I pushed and prodded
my way into line, which wasn't easy
because some of these Christmas-
spirited, good-will-to-man folks had
sent up tents and lawn chairs and
weren't about to move for the likes
of me. When the doors were finally
unlocked and opened by a 12-year-
old stock boy whomust have pulled
the short straw, or did something
really, really, terrible for which he
was being punished, we all raced
through like a herd of marauding
Huns.
Well, all but the two of us some
very skinny blond woman in seri-
ous need of dental work hit with a
shopping cart she propelled in our
path to slow us down on our run to
the guitar section.
Adrenalin got me up on my feet
and propelled me to the music sec-
tion where several of us were
scouring the aisles for the instru-
ments on sale. The wise store man-
agers had, however, moved these
“special items” to another section
and it was up to us to find them.
That wasn't too hard, because
Blondie (black, oily roots and all)
was an adroit hunter and following
her scent of latent cigarette smoke
through the store was pretty easy.
Unpleasant, but not difficult.
I got the last guitar, although I
did have to fight for it and a guy
offered me twice the sale price
before I got to the check out. That
isn't really so amazing, because by
then I was bleeding profusely and
limping from my injuries and the
911 call hadbeenmade.
As I told the nice young EMT
who put an ice pack on my knee
and bandaged my head wound,
Blondie's money would have been
better spent on a dentist and a pro-
fessional hair colorist. A few eti-
quette lessons wouldn't have hurt,
either. That's when he decided I
had a concussion, I suspect.
That misadventure taught me
that these huge Black Friday bar-
gains aren't for amateur or older
shoppers like me. I'd much rather
shop in one of these nice local
stores, where they treat me like a
queen, offer me wine and choco-
late and wait on me as if I am the
most important person in the
world.
So last year, while stinky ole
Blondie was getting up at 3 a.m.,
freezing in line, and fighting with
hoardes of other deranged bargain
hunters, I was sitting in a lovely lit-
tle downtown Plymouth shop, wait-
ing for the owner to find just what I
was looking for in the back room
and then wrapping it for me per-
sonally.
And all that for about $10 Imight
have saved shopping with the
masses for everyone on my list,
including that niceEMT.
