Gerry is not surprised at Commisso's success. He remembers Commisso as being earnestly interested in the company at all levels, from strategic acquisitions to marketing meetings—and even spending all night at the print shop to get prospectuses ready.

Mr. Gerry is taking a resolute, build-it-and-they-will-come stance. The son of Russian immigrants named Gorowitz, he still lives in the hamlet of Ferndale and has doled out beautification grants to nearby towns for roadside flower baskets and what seems like the country's largest concentration of gazebos.
