A good friend of mine from college, Jim Kelly, grew up in DeKalb, Illinois. His uncle Dennis was the bass guitar player in the McCoys. Unfortunately, Jim passed away this past year. I digress...
Far and away the #1 group from the state of Indiana came from Gary. On a road trip to the Penn State football game in 1980, a van load of us Husker fans had an interesting short time in Gary. A story for another time.
