I met Jerry Wahl in 1964 when he was with the Lakeshore Jaycees, perhaps as President. He and the Jaycees started the local Junior Miss Pageant, a scholarship program for high school senior girls. I was proud to represent Lakeshore, Michigan, and eventually America in that pageant in 1965. Thank you, Jerry and Jan, for taking that first step into a new program, that ended up benefitting so many local girls. Though we haven't been in touch in decades, I will always treasure those memories. Obviously, Jerry continued to be a "go-getter," not content to remain on the sidelines. He also continued to be the truly dear and nice man I remember when I was 17. Jan, I send my sincerest condolences to you, your children and extended family. I am proud to have known you both. With love, Patrice Gaunder Heeran
