To the Cummings family, Please accept my sincere condolences. I was honored and privileged to be one of so many under the tutelage of Mr Gerald Cummings. Although I was not a formal student of his, I considered myself as one, as Mr Cummings shared his knowledge of radiologic technology. with us all. Always professional, but with a sharp wit and sense of humor, Mr Cummings was a true mentor, a leader and a pioneer. One of the finest men I've ever known. God bless your family.
