This is a post Jerry wrote to Old School Skydivers FB. After reading it I asked Jerry for permission to start this campaign since so many people wanted a way to help.
Post from Jerry:
As I enter stage four of my bone cancer, what do I do with all of my Skydiving negatives and slides. I have a daughter in Florida with three thirteen year olds and a full time job. She has no use for them nor way to get rid of the body of work. I would like to sell the whole lot for a fair offer, perhaps to a current air to air photographer. Maybe do a book some day with some present work and retro pictures from the 1960's, 70's, 80's. I hate to think of them remaining in storage and some "clean out crew" disposes of them. The disease is in my spine and legs so I am losing my mobility. I still enjoy reading and thank god for "netflix. A good circle of friends, a loving daughter and wonderful women in my life. I will need things like a hospital bed and laptop to prepare for my forced retirement. I have not had a beer since June so you know I am sick.Leave a message on my FB if any one is interested. Thank you. It was a hard letter to write.
