I have some great history of a great mateship which I can relate about one of the greatest men I have met in my life, and I am anything but a recluse. gerald, his passing back in Wichita was a very sad day for me and one day I would love to visit the cemetery. Please reply and I can give you some wonderful history about a kind, gentle, talented and beautiful non racial man. I look forward to hearing from you

I think Anson Williams (alias-Potsie) just lip-synched that line of the theme song for the opening credits.

We are related then. Gerald was my uncle. He was really cool and of course a great singer.

My Grandfather, Frank (Gerald's father) was amazing. He built a house in Wichita out of stone. He used to build wooden cars (with motors) for fun. Frank's youngest son (Frank III.) is one of the best bass guitarists you will ever hear. Uncle Gerald was such a cool character with a smile you'll never forget. How cool that you know all of my relatives!
