Kathleen Pfeiffer
I accidentally found this today, and I want to share a little story about Jerry. My maiden name was Kathleen Casey, and I lived across the street from Clovis and Jerry in Hollydale, CA. My younger brother , born in '49, had a stuffed teddy bear when he was 2 . He was hospitalized with pneumonia when he was 2 or 3. He named that bear after Jerry Swanger --Jerry ("Jerry Beary"), and it went to the hospital with him. It had button eyes that had to be cut off when he was in the hospital . When he came home he wanted to see Jerry in person to make sure his eyes were OK and normal. Jerry's Mom sewed new eyes on Patrick's bear and they both lived happily ever after. --Kathleen Casey Pfeiffer
