FEB 02	Jerry Molnar,
	Owner of Molnar Associates, and 9/11 Survivor.
	Molnar Associates is an employment placement firm in New York City. Jerry began his career on Wall Street over 30 years ago with one dress shirt and a dream. It was the combination of business sense and street smarts that led Jerry "up the corporate ladder", and in 1973 he became a partner of three lucrative employment agencies within the Manhattan financial district. In 1983, Jerry hit financial, emotional and spiritual rock bottom. He then turned his life including his business practices over to God and began following Biblical principles. After this significant change in his life, he went out on his own and became sole owner of Jerry Molnar Personnel and located his offices on the 79th floor of the World Trade Center. In July, 2001, while attending a conference in Atlanta, Jerry's wife, Camy became suddenly ill. Camy did not return to her earthly home in New Jersey, but went to her heavenly home. Within a few short months after his wife's death, Jerry experienced another tragedy. On September 11, he lost over 15 friends and associates as a result of the World Trade Center attacks.
