Jerry and I met in November of 2007 and realized right off the bat
that we shared a GENUINE, Red White & Blue passion for the USA,
FAMILY & POLARIS Snowmbiles.
Especially the preservation
of the USA, Family and Vintage Sleds.
Those three categories always
lead to alot of conversations between us.
We were part of a comprehensive
cycle with more than vintage snowmobiles.
The beginning, middle and
end of many projects that was part of one
big project that was ever
changing. It added up to alot of good times.
I spoke to Jerry five times
his last day, just hours before he died.
He was living strong with
great spirit and excited about many things.
Jerry never wasted time with
anything he did, so his passing was
respectfully sudden and
complete in the same fashion he lived.

The Northwest
Museum of Vintage Snowmobiles main showroom is empty.
Over 130 Vintage Sleds have sold since
October of 2012, bringing an end
to the biggest collection & display
of race sleds & trail sleds in the Northwest.
When asking Jerry if he is gonna miss
the Museum, he replied:
"No ! It was
a joy building, during and ending it, and I still have some nice sleds
and even have
a sled on the bench to restore this winter." "I met some really
neat folks
throughout the entire duration and learned alot too. The
sleds sold
have found good homes and will continue to be appreciated."
