Wow, Jerry; that was quite a compliment, especially coming from Marty... He was't exactly known for handing out accolades... LOL! What a RELIEF, HUH???
I was talking to a friend of mine from Sioux Fallls (John Matthies) the other day and mentioned your name. He said he remembered a "Jerry Ryan" who was affiliated with "Missile Muffler." there in Sioux Falls, years ago...
I told him I had know idea whether that was YOU, or another "Ryan."
He said that this "Missile Muffler" guy was somehow involved with some Hemi cars...
I didn't recall you ever mentioning anything like that, so I told him it probably was not you.
John moved away from Sioux Falls in 1970, to Des Moines, where I met him. Dennis Kaedinger was a buddy of his... He called him "LIP." Dunno the back story on that "Jolly Ollie Orange" guy... but, you probably do...
