Jerry and Lynne Perkins came to BYUH from Orem, Utah. Jerry is originally from Burbank, California and Lynne grew up in a small town near Niagara Falls, New York. We were introduced by two roommates who were dating. They didn't get married--we did.
Jerry worked for CES (Seminaries and Institutes) for 29 years. That job took us to Arizona, Samoa, New York and Utah. While living in New York, we were in the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Jerry had the wonderful opportunity of playing the Prophet Joseph Smith for two years.
The last 22 years were spent at BYU in the Religion Department. We also had the opportunity to live in Jerusalem for a year.
Lynne had the best job in the world! She was able to stay home and raise our seven wonderful kids. We had a boy, then four girls, and finished with twin boys. What a blessing they have been in our lives! Our number 22 grandchild will be born in September.
Jerry will be teaching in the Religion Department here, and Lynne will be working with the Honor Office, in the sewing center and with VOICE.
We are excited to get to know all of the other Senior Missionaries!
