How it all started...
Jerry was accepted to
Northwestern University and was all set to attend when a friend side tracked him
to a visit to Minnesota State University at Moorhead. The buddy went to
the athletic field while Jerry found himself wandering the theatre department
where he discovered summer theatre -- 8 shows in 10 weeks! Before he knew
it, he applied, was accepted and graduated in 1976 not as an English teacher,
but an aspiring actor! Both parents supported him 100% and the rest is
history...
