It 15 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.719 was one week ago today that he passed away. So it's going to be 16 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.439 such a difficult day, going to be a tough day today, but we 17 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.799 will be chatting in just a little bit We've had a lot of people reach 18 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.920 out asking how can we be involved, what can we do, So we'll 19 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.239 kind of chat a little bit about that. But we're going to do that 20 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.920 here in a moment. So that's coming up, and we'll have Brent Baker 21 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.640 back in the studio next week. He's not going to be able to make 22 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.400 it today, but we'll have him back next week because we quite often on 23 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.879 Mondays we do a little real estate update. So he's not able to make 24 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.159 it, so we'll chat about something else. Right now. I want to 25 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.799 just say shout out to the men and women who serve and protect our community 26 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.760 here the Two Falls Police Department.

Yeah, I mean it was awesome to speak 29 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.640 with them, but it was unfortunate that we had to speak with them. 30 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.519 We had a little bit of an incident that needed their assistance on.

Bonus Hour again coming up here 58 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:49.360 on Saturday, October fourteenth at six pm, we have a special event at 59 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.719 the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. It is a celebration of life for Dan 60 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.360 Ferris. Again. It was one week ago today, Yeah, that he 61 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.479 passed away. Now, there are many people who when they found out last 62 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.919 week that he passed away, They're like, I didn't even know he was 63 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:09.159 sick. Dan was very very private for a public guy, he was super 64 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:15.639 private and again it was really difficult. He didn't share with anybody. This 65 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.879 has been going on for a little over two years. Yeah, a couple 66 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.040 of years John and I were the only ones in the loop and even out 67 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.199 of family for a time. His brothers didn't know. He hadn't shared with 68 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.759 him. We were even with him for the diagnosis with the doctors. He 69 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.319 was diagnosed with lung cancer and they caught it early and they were doing what 70 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.079 they thought would be curative treatment. And there were so many ups and then 71 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.240 there were downs, and then there were ups and there were downs, and 72 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.680 it was a roller coaster of the last two years. And in the midst 73 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.519 of it, somebody ran into his car as well. He had a little 74 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.720 black Mustang of his baby, and it was like, man, this guy 75 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.199 just can't catch a freaking know what is going on. And love dance so 76 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.519 much and right now I'm staring at his chair. That's Dan's chair, that's 77 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.959 empty over here, and it just feels so weird. Does so again. 78 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.959 Many people have reached out asking, here's the thing that I would love for 79 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.680 you to do. If you have some fun photos of you with Dan Ferris, 80 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.639 things that maybe you work together, or it was just photos he had 81 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.920 an event, if you could share those with me. We're going to have 82 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.920 a slide presentation thing that'll be playing during the event. If you've got a 83 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.639 fun story that you want to share, send that to me because we're going 84 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.720 to have some of those things, print it out for people to read, 85 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.399 because everybody has their own stories. But I have learned a whole different side 86 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.319 of Dan. There's a whole different side that we didn't know we met Dan. 87 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.600 You know, he had quit drinking like fifteen years ago. Yes, 88 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.319 so he's been a recovery for fifteen years and that was a big part of 89 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.560 his life. But there are people that we talked to from before that, 90 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.680 and that was a whole different Dan that we didn't really know. But again, 91 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.759 if you've got some fun stories that you'd like to maybe share, if 92 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.279 you reach out to me, we're planning things right now. He had a 93 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.879 special selection of music that he wanted played at this event because he was saying, 94 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.199 I don't want people to be sad. I want them to sell bred 95 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.319 I want people to come. And so he held literally is a celebration of 96 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.399 his life. And I'm excited that his daughter and his son are going to 97 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.240 be here. Yes, and his brothers and his brothers and his nieces. 98 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.120 Oh that's cool. So there's there's gonna be several other people. And again, 99 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.079 if you happen to have some fond memories, some things that you'd like 100 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.199 to share. Please reach out. We'll see if there's a way that we 101 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.800 can incorporate that somehow, but definitely if you've got photos, connect with me 102 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.839 John at Sunny Radio dot com. That's an easy way. Call six oh 103 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.360 five nine three three nineteen eighty or right through our Facebook page if that's easiest. 104 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.120 But just connect and we've got a couple of weeks. It is Saturday, 105 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.959 October fourteenth, and we planned it a little ways out because we want 106 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.639 to make sure his family could be here. So we coordinated and got all 107 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.279 that excited to say, the brass Holes will be performance, and he's been 108 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.240 I was gonna say they're number one fan, but they always say, well, 109 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:56.399 he doesn't even like us, but he did. He loved them as 110 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.759 a whole bunch of very fun people. We had a chance to see them 111 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.680 for the first time I ever did. We'd heard of them now for months, 112 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.199 and I was like, you guys get a lot of living, you 113 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.879 get a lot to up to, and they did. They did a really 114 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.839 good job. But again, if you would like to be a part of 115 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.680 it, this is an event that is open to the public, and there's 116 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.839 going to be some appetizers and things like that. But the it's at the 117 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.199 South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance. They're gonna have their kitchen open two so if 118 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.519 you go, I'm gonna just get dinner there. You can still do that 119 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.639 please, But it's going to be a celebration of life. It should be 120 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.439 a really fun time. In addition to the brassholes, we've got a harpist 121 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.800 that's going to be playing music. This was Dan's idea. This was Dan's 122 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.519 request, and I don't get to say any more than we have a harpist. 123 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.000 So this is again he was such a funny dude. He's got some 124 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.279 bizarre requests for this event. But it's coming up Saturday, October fourteenth. 125 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.879 We do have some items that he had said, you know, if you 126 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.160 guys want to raffle these off or somehow auction them off for a charity, 127 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.720 I would love to raise money for a charity. So we're gonna have some 128 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.720 of those things as well. Again, put it on your calendar. Plan 129 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.920 to join us Saturday October fourteenth, South the Code of Military Heritage Alliance. 130 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.279 The thing that's really neat about that he was actually involved before that place even 131 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.040 got a name, before it had anything other than here's a concept. You 132 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.079 know, they were involved with Dan and with Sunny Radio. We had we 133 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.600 had conversations and he was at the table with that. So I think it's 134 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.560 really fitting that we're going to be there. And I reached out to them 135 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.040 right away and said, if it's possible to have it here, that would 136 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.959 be really really cool. So Saturday, October fourteenth, six pm, South 137 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.680 Dakota Military Heritage Alliance.

It was on this day, September twenty fifth, 149 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.759 eighteen eighty two, the first telephone is installed in Sioux Falls. It was 150 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.919 in the office of McKinney and Skogel Bank at eighth and Phillips. Of course, 151 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.200 the problem with being the first one with the phone is you don't really 152 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.919 have anyone to call. The lines at the time were exclusively local, but 153 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.039 even so, by the end of that year, there were over thirty businesses 154 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.320 and private residences around town that joined in on the telephone network. In less 155 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.679 than a decade, and after some initial local resistance, long distance lines would 156 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.399 connect Sioux Falls to the rest of the world with hundreds of local subscribers. 157 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.759 This Day in Sioux Falls History has been brought to you by the Sioux Falls 158 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.240 Fund Page, West, Sioux Studios and Sunny ninety three point three.

So if I mentioned something that you're going, 171 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.440 hey, whatever happened he didn't talk to that person, or this didn't 172 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.519 happen, that didn't happen, you can find that podcast at John and Heidi 173 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.840 Show dot com.
