About

Jerry Path (1942–) was born in January 1942 and grew up on a farm in rural Wisconsin. In 1956, he left the farm to attend a Roman Catholic seminary, receiving a degree in Scholastic Philosophy in 1965.

He was active in the movement for social change in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1965 to 1987, when he moved to San Francisco. There he worked with Local Union 510 doing trade show work.

Since his retirement in 2007, he has enjoyed walking with his group at Candlestick State Park and cultivating his organic garden.
