Jerry Newsome

Larry Hill · 12-31-2009, 07:55 PM

I would like to request your prayers for Jerry Newsome and his family. Most of you know that Jerry (B/SA Challenger) has been fighting cancer for a long time now. Over 10 years he has been putting up a real fight. His last race was at the Houston race this past spring. He was there being treated at M.D. Anderson Hospital. He got to the 4th round of eliminations and really had a great time at the race. Since then, he has been going thru some really rough treatments. He and his wife Barbara and daughter Kara have been staying in an apartment in Houston so that he can get his treatments. If you would like to send him a card, his address is:
Jerry Newsome
Nob Hill Apartments
5490 Braesvalley Apt. 369
Houston, TX 77096

I know he would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. If you want to post something here, I will make sure it gets to him.

Thanks,
Patsy & Larry

It was at the Houston Nationals in 1994 when i first met Jerry and at that point it was the highest/farthest wheelstand in a stock eliminator car i had seen in person in qualifying. He had to run Rusty Hall for class in B/SA and if my memory serves me right, they had identical reaction times (.556) and Rusty ran 10.54 and Jerry ran 10.55, it was an awesome class race to say the least!

My thoughts out to Jerry and his family, i hope things get better very, very soon.

Joe,it isn't the size or value of the gift, it is the thought and value to the recipient. Very nice thought on your part, I am sure he will enjoy it. Get well Jerry

I spoke with Barbara today and she said Jerry is now in a wheel chair but is still fighting cancer at the M.D. Anderson Center in Houston TX. Barbara said that each card or letter brings a smile to Jerry's face. She asked me to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Larry
