I really think he has been treated poorly and deserves to know that a lot of people don't feel the way the other HG do.
MODS..could you post the link to gerry's folder in this thread to make it easy to access for everyone, thanks!

Thanks Earthmother! It just breaks my heart to think of his family seeing the feeds, the HG are so mean and Gerry has never done anything wrong to them. He has been more honest than Jason in a lot of ways. I hope they come to places like this and see a lot of people respect Gerry.

Gerry -
The way the other house guests spoke of you is unacceptable.

I just want you to know not everyone thinks that way about you.

All the best to you and your family in the future.

Gerry I didnt like your veto speech but ever since that week you handled yourself very well and in a manner that many of the other hgs should have followed. I think you were treated poorly and your family should be proud of you. Best of luck with the school fundraisers.

Gerry-you played the game with dignity, unlike many, if not all, of the other houseguests. We, the people who have been glued to this website since the first night of BB, have seen the truth about your actions, and have seen that there is no basis for the malicious things that were said about you.
My heartfelt wishes for a successful life for you and your family.

I went to the fanmail link and put a message in his folder. He is the only houseguest out of all three seasons that got any fanmail from me. I'm glad I did it.

Gerry, I pray that a way shows itself, that will guide you, and your family, to the place where the stings from this experience will be swept away.

Where the joy of reuniting with loved ones envelopes you and yours, and, all things undeserved will be, returned to sender.

Where the sweet memories are more 'fullsome' than you used to be:)

And where the twinkle in your eye finds its source.

Respectfully,

Gerry:

As a middle-age person as well you were put into a no win situation. There was no one in the house that could relate to you and your likes and dislikes. These "kids" were playing by a different generations rules and morals. I am proud of your stay in the house. I think next time they need more than a token old guy as they jhave done in I, II & III. It just ain't fair. We middle-age guys are proud of you.

A member here at TVCH took it upon themselves to gather information for donating to Gerrys school. Here is the letter:

I contacted Gerry’s school yesterday and spoke with the principal, Richard Lucas, explaining that I was acting in NO official capacity but was a BB fan and TVCH member. Some members had expressed an interest in showing support for Gerry by donating money to the school and/or sending used books for the school library. Mr. Lucas was very appreciative of this and asked we encourage our members to do so in a way that makes it easier on his staff as well as provide easy accountability for all donations. Anyone wanting to mail books should clearly indicate “Book Donation” on the package---in our current security aware environment nowadays, you can appreciate his valid concerns for receiving unsolicited packages. He emphasized that donors might want to insure the book titles are appropriate for middle school ages (7th, 8th, and 9th grade at his school) so no donated book might be deemed ineligible for library circulation.

For any check donations, he will use the already established account used for fund-raising proceeds so that a correct tally of fans’ donations can be done very easily. Once the donations are finalized, whatever funds are involved would be used to buy items chosen by Gerry and most likely with his students’ input. It may result in the purchase of books, equipment, field trips, etc…Mr. Lucas said Gerry was one of the most popular teachers on campus, beloved by faculty and students alike. Knowing Gerry, he felt certain Gerry would prefer to incorporate the kids into the selection process as well as sending thanks to the donors. He thought it likely that once the donation is used, a group photo with Gerry, students, and the item(s) could be added to the school’s website for anyone who donated to see where their funds were used.


If you are interested in donating or have questions regarding donations please email Donations4GerrysKids@Hotmail.com . This account is in no way shape or form related to TVCH/BBFC. Please only use this email if you are interested in donating.


We at the TVCH moderating staff want to thank the anonymous member who took time out of their day to collect the information. This member is what sets TVCH above all other fan sites! This person is a true "Fan" and a wonderful caring human being!

Thank you,

Moderator staff

That's great info, Mods! I'm so pleased to know that Gerry is loved and respected at his school.
Gerry is the only houseguest I would even consider doing anything for, and a charitable donation is the only method I would consider, so thanks for the information!

Gerry,
I really admired you during the game. You treated others with dignity and respect, played honestly yet strategically, and were one of the few people in the house capable of having an intelligent conversation. You are a credit to the teaching profession and your school district/parents/kids are very fortunate to have you. You have a lovely family and the love you expressed for them is so heartwarming to see. You obviously are a loving father and husband. I also admire the fact that you used the idle hours in the house to become healthier and more fit. You are a very attractive man and getting more attractive by the day. Most of all, I admire that you undertook this strange adventure of living in a house, away from your loved ones, with some very selfish and immature people, and no privacy, and yet you never lost one ounce of your calm and generous personality. God speed! Have a rich and wonderful life.

Hello Gerry,

Well played. It is one helluva game. I don't think I've got the cajones for it. What's next a Spanish bull run? I'm sure the bulls are nicer! Take care.

Well you know - I'm not made of money so I don't do alot of donating $ (donate tons of time over the years though) but in this case I'm thinking of going for it as a statement... Gerry walked in seeming to have a really good heart... he's gonna walk out finding out so many negative bad things said about him by the HG's and shown to the public and so on. I think each donation to his school no matter how small - is making a statement against those in the house and AS for promoting that hate.

So I'm gonna send a lil donation along with the suggestion they let Gerry know HOW MANY people made donations (not just the $$ amount ya know)

A little thought for those who would like to donate books to Gerry's school..Go to barnes and noble website and buy a gift certificate for 5-10 dollars..enough of us do that can add up to a good amount for purchase of books..The school can then purchase books that are age appropriate and no be duplicates..Gift certificates don't have to be mailed..if anyone is interested I'll get the infomation and post who to make the gift certificate,email address of where to send it..
