Amos. Jerry was the master of maintenance on the Showalter leasehold. We would
always joke that he could fix anything with a roll of duct tape! Much of what Jerry
did for us was done quietly, but many of you will recognize his loaded golf cart with

the “Honk if Parts Fall Off” bumper sticker. Our hearts go out to Jerry’s family, espe-
cially his wife Wanda and the Nodorft’s. We will miss Jerry’s vast knowledge, crea-
tivity and steadiness. But most of all we will miss Jerry!

Lodi’s Lowdown for the month of July was a bit of a guessing game. The closest guesses were made by Wendy Gorham,

night of tie down.
Thanks for answering!
The question for August is:
Which U.S. President holds the record for the most presidential travel in Air Force
One? How many days abroad did he spend during his presidency?
