⚜Foreman Trea’s Tribute to Jerry Doyle Challenge



Most of you know how much of a self proclaimed Geek I am. In late July, I was very saddened to hear of the unexpected death of Jerry Doyle, a beloved cast member of Babylon 5 from the 1990s and host of the political radio program "The Jerry Doyle Show". I decided to make my September challenge a bit of a tribute to his life.
