Gerd described an incident that occurred when he took his dog Sadie for a walk. Apparently a couple on their bikes from his neighborhood collided with each other and they were lying on the ground screaming in pain. Gerd rushed to help them and took them in his car to their home. Examination in the hospital revealed no fractures. And this is why he is referred to in Milton as “St. Gerd”! President Gordon ended the meeting wishing everyone a pleasant week. |
