R.I.P. Jerry Bobrow
I heard some sad news tonight. Jerry Bobrow, who ran a top test prep company and was a friend to Birmingham sports and countless other athletes in the Valley --including this reporter, way back when -- passed away on Nov. 12 after a long bout with cancer.
Birmingham administrator Fern Somoza passed along the sad news. Bobrow, she said, has helped a number of Birmingham students and athletes over the years who wanted to go to college, but couldn't afford all the high-priced test prep. One athlete he helped, is expected to attend Harvard next year.
``He was a wonderful man,'' Somoza said. ``We're all really going to miss him. He's done so much for so many people.''
