Gerry McCarthy Retires as NETC Coordinator

g_mccarthy1_crop (27K)After ten years as NETC Coordinator, Gerry McCarthy will be retiring at the end of June. Gerry served as both Associate Director and Director of CTI from 1987-1997. In the past, he also served as Director of the Technology Transfer Center and Coordinator of the Connecticut Cooperative Highway Research Program. Gerry and his wife Jane now reside in Narraganset, Rhode Island where they have built a new home. Rhode Island is too far for a regular commute, but Gerry will continue to assist the CTI staff person who assumes his role. His steady presence, dedication and expertise will be truly missed by all. Best wishes to Gerry from everyone at CTI.
