    Your Interests
    Travel, Travel, Travel, =); Hiking; Camping; Backpacking; Reading; Writing; Museums; Cafes; Documentaries; History; Enjoying time with my friends; Checking new places; Pub Crawls and so many more.....
    Favorite Music
    Really my interests are all over the place. I love Jazz. Favorite artists are Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Lords of Acid, Pink Martini, Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, Dean Martin, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, AC/DC, Ozzy, Bob Marley, on and on.
    Favorite Books
    Love nonfiction. Especially love travel books and any atlas I can get my hands on. Enjoyed Skinny Bitch and An Embarrassment of Mangoes: A Caribbean Interlude. I read mostly travel and outdoor magazines.
    Favorite TV Shows
    Not a huge TV fan. I don’t even have cable! I do, however, love the Travel, History and Discovery Channels (Go Figure!). I mostly watch the news and documentaries. Occasionally check out a reality show, Grey’s Anatomy, Law and Order, 60 Minutes, etc.
    Favorite Movies
    It’s tough for me to sit still long enough to watch a movie. Favorite movies would be Diggstown. It’s old but a great movie about boxing and saving a town from a madman. Foreign, Indy and documentary films are far more interesting to me.

    About Me
    I've spent much of my adult life working in the legal field. I've been a legal secretary, legal assistant, paralegal and even a court reporter, however, I used that technology to caption (like on television) college classes for deaf students at the University of Pittsburgh. I currently work for a government agency. I spent 12 years in the military and completed two combat tours. I am divorced with no children but hope to someday adopt a child needing a family. I love where I live - love my neighbors. My passion is travel, meeting new people, learning about cultures I'm unfamiliar with - basically living life and discovering new things. I love planning events, although I usually allow them to take over my life. I'm too detail-oriented at times for my own good. Like "Martha Stewart on acid" as Frank describes it. That's a bit about me.... ;)
    Why I joined
    I joined because so many of my friends were joining and I love event planning. MEETin gave me a medium to do so. The combination of local and transplant members makes our event selections amazing.
    My Best MEETin event story ( please only fill in after you have been to an event )
    My favorite MEETin Event Story resulted from our recent trip to Pennsylvania’s Renaissance Faire. We found a local bar/nightclub in Manheim, Pennsylvania called DADS’s It was such an unexpected great time. Check out the full story under MEETin News. Tied with that event was our trip to Elk County – um, say four-wheeling through the woods and doing donuts in the mountain-top farmer’s field. There are just so many great stories I recall, it’s tough to pick just one!

    Gerry is a friend to all, especially newcomers. She loves to have a good time. She's generous, tells funny stories and is fun to hang around with. No matter the event, Gerry is great fun!

    <-( Colleen says ;-)
    My other favorite minimalist, second to Barry. She plans some incredible parties! Every detail is attended to. I’ve enjoyed seeing her at so many events that I find it difficult to talk about just one. Last year’s Polar Bear Plunge was interesting. I still have your hat from the second dip into the river. Gerry can go from being girly to an all out camper. Make it a point to say “hello” to Gerry at an event. She has so much love to give, and who doesn’t need that from time to time?

    <-( Barry says ;-)
    Love this girl to death. Always fun, always ready to dive into just about anything. And above all... and absolute sweetheart who would do anything for a friend.

    <-( Shelly says ;-)
    I have had the privilege to meet one of the sweetest gals pittsburgh has to offer! Of course its Gerry! Last night we went to a great restaurant and it was one of the best experiences I have had since I moved to Pittsburgh! Thanks Gerry!

    <-( Renee says ;-)
    Gerry is a one of nicest people i know that is always willing to help others. Her kinded heart always makes people feel welcome. She is a tough gal thats not afraid to try new things and got some great interests.

    <-( Mary says ;-)
    There are two types of people - those who come into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are." In the short time that I have been a member of Meetin, I have been greeted with the latter and it truly shows that Gerry puts her heart and soul into making each and everyone feel comfortable and welcome. I admire her for her continued dedication of being a KEY member of this amazing group. Organized, warmhearted, and a sincere pleasure to know. She is the real deal. She makes me proud to be called woman. She makes me proud to be my friend.

    <-( Inna says ;-)
    Gerry is the sweetest tough-gal out there! Part Martha, part GI Joe (GI Jane?), she's all real and funny and a fellow MI junkie. The group just wouldn't be the same without her!

    <-( Brian says ;-)
    Gerry is hands down one of my best Friends...She deserves so much credit for the things she willingly helps others with..inclucing my own self...If i had half the resolve she she boldy shows I'd be a better man 10 fold. Thanks Gerry for always supporting me and my efforts...Gerry you are a wonderful friend

    <-( Doug says ;-)
    Gerry is great. She goes way out of her way to try to make sure that everyone has a good time at her events, and she has a warm heart of gold. I've had the pleasure of co-hosting some events with her and have gotten to know her pretty well along the way. We've had some great conversations about things that actually matter in life, and I look forward to more of those conversations, and more fun events with her. She gave me an amazing testimonial talking about changes I've made in my life, but she downplayed the changes she's made in her own. And she's made some big ones! I respect her quite a bit for that.

    <-( Joel says ;-)
    All I can wonder is where does this woman gets all her energy?...Gerry is a terrific and benevolent host. Add to that, intelligent, fun, funny, kind and caring with a huge heart...and on and on. I always look forward to her events...She's the best.

    <-( Laura says ;-)
    Gerry was awesome at the "Get Your Game on for the Gulf" event! My partner and I had a wonderful time and found the fun atmosphere relaxing and stress-relieving ~ and it was all for a good cause. Thanks Gerry - you rock the Casbah!

    <-( Maaz says ;-)
    Gerry is always fun to hang out with, whether it be at a hiking or camping event, a pub crawl that she organizes, or anywhere else! She's very friendly and cares about everyone!

    <-( Kari says ;-)
    Gerry is totally fun and totally cool! I'm so glad she came on the Elk County Trip - she certainly is a wonderful person!

    <-( Kevin says ;-)
    Gerry is definitely a treat to hang around. A very gorgeous young woman with a great personality. She has beauty and brains, she is assertive and knows how to have fun and she has a refreshing, unexpected down to earth side. Gerry knows how to get what she wants, so look out!

    <-( Michelle says ;-)
    Gerry is a wonderful woman who has done a great deal in her life...I affectionately renamed her Fiona Gump...so glad to have met her!

    <-( Ross says ;-)
    Gerry is one of the nicest people I have ever met! She always has a kind word for everyone. I first met her on one of Frank's hikes on the RC trail. She was very encouraging to a novice hiker as myself. Since then, I have gotten to know her better at other events. She is a doll!

    <-( Priscilla says ;-)
    I have to say, Gerry is cool and tough, definitely! :)

    <-( Deena says ;-)
    Gerry ROCKS! She is the life of the party. And I'm happy that we had the opportunity to hang out after the Amy's Army Benefit Concert for some "girls talk." Gerry is also one lucky lady, winning not one, but TWO raffle prizes on the same night! Yowsa! Can you pick a lottery ticket for me? Thanks for your help with the Charity Bar Crawl this year. It's going to be awesome! See ya soon! Deena :-)

    <-( Rowan says ;-)
    This is my sweetheart. I love this girl. She is one of my dearest friends. I first met her one year ago at my first pub crawl and it happened to be the ST Pattys Day crawl. So I was a lil overwhelmed but I do recall out of alot of people I met Gerri the most. She is unforgetable lol. And we continued our friendship via Myspace. And now through here. And hopefully for a very very long time.

    <-( Kim says ;-)
    Gerry is a sweetheart. You can't help but like her! That she's a pubcrawl organizer makes me love her all the more - but I would anyway. She's not all fun and games, though - she's got a tough side, too. Anyone willing to tackle the ENTIRE Rachel Carson Trail has my full admiration.
