Jerry Thompson Quotations

We would put a deposit in to secure the loan. To me, that takes us out of the loan business.

People wanted to come here. It shows that people want to come here, which is a real positive to the township.

We could not ask for anything better. There have been wall-to-wall people here since we started. This is the biggest Pirate's Day that we have ever had.

You are making (Alliance One) look good, ... But you might just be making a billboard for them (gang members).

There is so much here for everyone to enjoy. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been out their trying to get the word out about Pirate's Day. One weekend, we were up at one of the rest stops in Monmouth County getting the word out about Pirate's Day.

This was just a mess. This is the second game in a row we lost it in the first inning by giving up unearned runs. We've got to regroup.

This was Jerry's first time on the hill for us and he did a good job. I also thought Jordan (Mortenson) came in and closed out the game well.

We expected that our day was going to come sooner or later.

This can be used for a future concert program. That is a program that I would like to see continue for the years to come. People really go down there and seem to enjoy it.

This has been a success so far and, hopefully, it will continue over the next couple of years.

Everyone has come together to make this the best event that they could. We had volunteers here early this morning to make sure that everything was ready to go.

None of our members have suffered any losses whatsoever. That's the way we handle it.

If you met him, you would never forget him. He had charm - just a teddy bear.

All of the money that we are giving out comes from the amount of money that we raised during Pirate's Day. All of the money that comes into the chamber goes back to civic groups.
