Gerald Kral was an active and enthusiastic ACS member for at least the last 20 years. He was elected as a member of the ACS Board of Directors and served for five consecutive terms! There are not many who have served on the Board longer. With this accomplishment, Jerry joined such legends of the ACS as: Eddie Rezek (10 years), Susan Martin (9 years), Bill Thomas (6 years), and Marvin Snyder (6 years). During his service on the BOD, Jerry proposed, championed, and developed the current ACS Scholarship Program. Jerry and his able partner, Elmer Dustman, also organized two ACS National Meetings and three Regional Meetings for the Northeast Region. Unless you have organized a meeting, it is difficult to appreciate the commitment of time and personal sacrifice necessary to make everything come together smoothly. All of these meetings were well executed and well received by the attendees. Those who do it once rarely volunteer to do a repeat performance. So, FIVE meetings is quite an accomplishment!
We are deeply appreciative for all that Jerry achieved for the ACS and to further our mission. Jerry and Karen's garden in urban Rochester, NY has been a perpetual favorite and must see garden when in the area. See a virtual tour of Jerry and Karen’s garden here.
