We salute Jerry Thompson. Dr. Gerald Thompson graduated from Dover HS in 1965. By 1967, he was in Vietnam serving as an 82nd Airborne Ranger LRRP attached to 173rd Infantry, 23rd Infantry and Americal division. On Aug. 18th, 1968, Jerry left Vietnam and met a beautiful girl who became the love of his life, Colleen Ann Connell. In 1972, Jerry started at Milford High School as the music teacher and band director. Jerry dedicated his life to sharing the joy music with generations of students. Spicer Bros. and CoastTV are honoring military persons and first responders serving Delmarva.
