Jerome then and now:
Jerome was one of St. Louis Center’s first residents in the early 1960s! To the left, you can view Jerome’s class picture from 1962, and to the right, you can see what he looks like now as he partakes in one of his favorite activities! Music has always played a large role throughout Jerome’s life, and he grew up an excellent vocalist and organist. St. Louis Center is overjoyed that Jerome is still able to share his special talents!
