I guess that most Syc Prider's weren't aware of JERRY KUNKEL'S distinction @ ISC while playing alongside DUANE KLUEH in '50...

First of all, I recently discovered that Jerry passed away a couple years ago.

"GottaHav" used to deliver his newspaper in Sullivan during the late 60's, and references observations of late 50's-early 60's ISC "legends" who were also teachers @ Sullivan HS - Wayne Allison, Johny Robbins & Ed Chickadaunce...along w/ Kunkel.

Now do you understand WHY I asked if ADAM KUNKEL was kin of JERRY?

Yet with those ties it wasn't enough to get the kid to even give us a visit?

Not sure if there were any actual "blood ties." Pretty common German Catholic name in S. IN/S. OH/N. KY.

It does appear that he had a bros. over in your neck of the woods (Lebanon):
