C44 / Show#16 / Jerry Solomon

from Citizen44 with Mark Arinsberg

Long time Ashland, Oregon resident Jerry Solomon talks about his life challenges growing up as the only Jewish family living in a cornfield community. An article was written in the local paper about his family. Soon after the release of the article, Jerry would be horrified with the response by school mates who would call him a "dirty Jew" and throw rocks at him. At the time, he was so young that he did not understand the behavior and found himself running home and asking his parents why this was happening to him. Jerry didn't even know he was Jewish until the article came out. Jerry, who was a trained freelance graphic designer working in Ashland, talks about giving up his career and going into developing electric bicycles then later opening Ashland Electric Bike's in Ashland.
