Jerry Boomer’s Summary

You know, I have enjoyed a fabulous career. I have done things that most people in business only dream about. I have achieved things that most people are afraid to do. I have achievements that still are not topped.

And now I am doing something that gives me great pleasure. A task that allows me to give back to those who deserve it. An assignment that is making me work harder than I have in years, but with more personal rewards than I have had in years.
