Spring 2015

Jerry Presley

I grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas and attended Northside High School, where I was a member of the two-time Arkansas State Champion Northside Grizzlies football team. I was elected President of my Sophmore Class and in my Senior year, was elected President of the Student Body. I graduated from Northside in 1970 and one year later, married my high school sweetheart, Aimee Steinbock. The Watergate scandal made me cynical about government and wary of elected officials.
