My, it’s a funny thing about life. How one moment in time can change your life forever. That moment happened to my Aunt Katherine in 1952. She and one of her girl friends decide they were going to go to a popular dance hall in Kilbride. While there they saw two American soldiers in uniform.They chatted with these soldiers, had a few dances and when the night was over, one of the soldiers asked them if they needed a ride home.
"Like all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, home is never far from the mind no matter where you are." Gerry and Katherine did travel the world. Then came the Vietnam War. Gerry was a linesman then and did his service in Vietnam — often in the combat zone — keeping lines of communication open. He was awarded the bronze star and distinguished service medals.
Throughout his life he loved swimming, running, and biking and became a competitive triathlete. He competed until age 75.
