Myra Lewis Williams: "ya could say Jerry was a little on the defensive side that day, Phoebe and I were there at the hospital in Memphis and every single day Dr. Fortune told us he was critical and could die at any moment. "

Doug Meet: "i remember well the half-dollar-sized hole in his stomach.
I have never seen Jerry so fired up in an interview before. I suppose it could be attributed to a lot of things. I didn't realize that you and Phoebe were there in Nesbit during his convalescence though. Thanks for writing in."
