Thanks for listening to the John and Heidi Show Bonus Hour. My beautiful
bride, Heidi is in here with me. You usually split for a bit,
Jill in here, Yeah, not during this time. He's got I
don't know what you say, something better to do something like that. So
first of all, coming up in a moment, we're going to talk a
little bit about the Dan Ferris celebration of life event that's coming up. It
was one week ago today that he passed away. So it's going to be
such a difficult day, going to be a tough day today, but we
will be chatting in just a little bit We've had a lot of people reach
out asking how can we be involved, what can we do, So we'll
kind of chat a little bit about that. But we're going to do that
here in a moment. So that's coming up, and we'll have Brent Baker
back in the studio next week. He's not going to be able to make
it today, but we'll have him back next week because we quite often on
Mondays we do a little real estate update. So he's not able to make
it, so we'll chat about something else. Right now. I want to
just say shout out to the men and women who serve and protect our community
here the Two Falls Police Department. Big thank you. Good to chat God
bless him up close in person personal yesterday with a couple of them, very
nice guys by the way. Yeah, I mean it was awesome to speak
with them, but it was unfortunate that we had to speak with them.
We had a little bit of an incident that needed their assistance on. But
they, as always, as with every interaction with our law enforcement, amazing.
Don't want to get too personal about what was going on, but there
was an issue in our neighborhood. We'll just say yea and leave it there.
Yeah again, I don't if you follow me on Facebook, I had
posted something you know what's going on in same with me? I posted it
on my Facebook pages. I posted something much kinder than the thing that was
crazy when because we I've never been one to call the police on anybody,
but we had several people saying you need to call the police and at least
reportedly may make a report. And then when we talk to them like,
oh, we're very familiar, we know, we know, we know this
person. Okay, well anyway we were special or something, but you know,
took care of business. Amazing, amazing, amazing people. Thank you.
Yes, all right, Like I said, coming up at a moment,
we're going to talk about an event that's coming up on October fourteenth.
So if you don't stick around to hear all of the details, at least
all of the details we have thus far at least know the Dan Ferris Celebration
of Life event is Saturday, October fourteenth. It's going to be at the
Alliance Building, the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. We'll chat about all of

for listening to the John ed Heidi Show. Bonus Hour again coming up here
on Saturday, October fourteenth at six pm, we have a special event at
the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. It is a celebration of life for Dan
Ferris. Again. It was one week ago today, Yeah, that he
passed away. Now, there are many people who when they found out last
week that he passed away, They're like, I didn't even know he was
sick. Dan was very very private for a public guy, he was super
private and again it was really difficult. He didn't share with anybody. This
has been going on for a little over two years. Yeah, a couple
of years John and I were the only ones in the loop and even out
of family for a time. His brothers didn't know. He hadn't shared with
him. We were even with him for the diagnosis with the doctors. He
was diagnosed with lung cancer and they caught it early and they were doing what
they thought would be curative treatment. And there were so many ups and then
there were downs, and then there were ups and there were downs, and
it was a roller coaster of the last two years. And in the midst
of it, somebody ran into his car as well. He had a little
black Mustang of his baby, and it was like, man, this guy
just can't catch a freaking know what is going on. And love dance so
much and right now I'm staring at his chair. That's Dan's chair, that's
empty over here, and it just feels so weird. Does so again.
Many people have reached out asking, here's the thing that I would love for
you to do. If you have some fun photos of you with Dan Ferris,
things that maybe you work together, or it was just photos he had
an event, if you could share those with me. We're going to have
a slide presentation thing that'll be playing during the event. If you've got a
fun story that you want to share, send that to me because we're going
to have some of those things, print it out for people to read,
because everybody has their own stories. But I have learned a whole different side
of Dan. There's a whole different side that we didn't know we met Dan.
You know, he had quit drinking like fifteen years ago. Yes,
so he's been a recovery for fifteen years and that was a big part of
his life. But there are people that we talked to from before that,
and that was a whole different Dan that we didn't really know. But again,
if you've got some fun stories that you'd like to maybe share, if
you reach out to me, we're planning things right now. He had a
special selection of music that he wanted played at this event because he was saying,
I don't want people to be sad. I want them to sell bred
I want people to come. And so he held literally is a celebration of
his life. And I'm excited that his daughter and his son are going to
be here. Yes, and his brothers and his brothers and his nieces.
Oh that's cool. So there's there's gonna be several other people. And again,
if you happen to have some fond memories, some things that you'd like
to share. Please reach out. We'll see if there's a way that we
can incorporate that somehow, but definitely if you've got photos, connect with me
John at Sunny Radio dot com. That's an easy way. Call six oh
five nine three three nineteen eighty or right through our Facebook page if that's easiest.
But just connect and we've got a couple of weeks. It is Saturday,
October fourteenth, and we planned it a little ways out because we want
to make sure his family could be here. So we coordinated and got all
that excited to say, the brass Holes will be performance, and he's been
I was gonna say they're number one fan, but they always say, well,
he doesn't even like us, but he did. He loved them as
a whole bunch of very fun people. We had a chance to see them
for the first time I ever did. We'd heard of them now for months,
and I was like, you guys get a lot of living, you
get a lot to up to, and they did. They did a really
good job. But again, if you would like to be a part of
it, this is an event that is open to the public, and there's
going to be some appetizers and things like that. But the it's at the
South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. They're gonna have their kitchen open two so if
you go, I'm gonna just get dinner there. You can still do that
please, But it's going to be a celebration of life. It should be
a really fun time. In addition to the brassholes, we've got a harpist
that's going to be playing music. This was Dan's idea. This was Dan's
request, and I don't get to say any more than we have a harpist.
So this is again he was such a funny dude. He's got some
bizarre requests for this event. But it's coming up Saturday, October fourteenth.
We do have some items that he had said, you know, if you
guys want to raffle these off or somehow auction them off for a charity,
I would love to raise money for a charity. So we're gonna have some
of those things as well. Again, put it on your calendar. Plan
to join us Saturday October fourteenth, South the Code of Military Heritage Alliance.
The thing that's really neat about that he was actually involved before that place even
got a name, before it had anything other than here's a concept. You
know, they were involved with Dan and with Sunny Radio. We had we
had conversations and he was at the table with that. So I think it's
really fitting that we're going to be there. And I reached out to them
right away and said, if it's possible to have it here, that would
be really really cool. So Saturday, October fourteenth, six pm, South
Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. Heidi, thanks for sticking around for a little bit.
You bet, I'll get back to work. Thanks for listening to the

to you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page, West, Sioux Studios and Sunny
ninety three point three. It was on this day, September twenty fifth,
eighteen eighty two, the first telephone is installed in Sioux Falls. It was
in the office of McKinney and Skogel Bank at eighth and Phillips. Of course,
the problem with being the first one with the phone is you don't really
have anyone to call. The lines at the time were exclusively local, but
even so, by the end of that year, there were over thirty businesses
and private residences around town that joined in on the telephone network. In less
than a decade, and after some initial local resistance, long distance lines would
connect Sioux Falls to the rest of the world with hundreds of local subscribers.
