Retail Man Jerald Manning


As the General Manager of the local Macy's store Jerald comes to Rotary pretty dressed up. Today though I caught him in casual clothes. He is still wearing his trade mark smile. Jerald grew up in B.G. and considers himself a Purple but his family moved to Louisville his Senior year of High School so he graduated from Seneca in 1964. He returned that year to Western and soon afterwards took a job with Castner Knott that landed him in Nashville for the next 23 years. He eventually came back to BG to manage the store here and since then he has remained in the same job but the store has become Famous Barr and now Macy's.

Jerald and his wife Jane have two girls and one 18 month old granddaughter. Jerald enjoys playing golf and yard work.
