Jerry Abramson, a Louisville native, served as Mayor for Life for a zillion years before becoming Kentucky's Lt. Governor and then a Special Assistant to President Barack Obama.

He came home from the White House to teach at Splading University and, now 78, will retire at the end of this month.

Now he'll be Zaidie to his grandchildren while Madeline has taken the grandmotherly title of Gammy.

Love those Abramsons!

Thanks for your service, boss!
