    To the editor: I had the pleasure of working with Jerry Sommer this winter and spring on a county-wide Earth Day Event and Barn Dance held in Warwick on April 21. Jerry and I worked side-by-side on most of the details. Jerry has lots of energy, know-how and drive and made our busy event a first-year success. Jerry is now running for Warwick School Board and on May 15 I urge you to vote for him. Jerry and his wife Janne have lived and worked in Warwick for 15 years, but are now retired. They are parents to three full-grown children and three grandchildren who went to public schools. Jerry has been on the Warwick School Board in the past and feels it is time to run again. With all of these experiences and with his get it done attitude, he is a great candidate for school board. In our few years of working on environmental issues around the county and in Warwick, we have become good friends. He is a great person and I wish him the best in his campaign for school board.
