were instrumental in founding an Interdenominational church at Flint Ridge. He 
was an avid golfer and fisher.

In 1996, the Conrows moved back to Inola where they are members of the Inola 
United Methodist Church. On Veterans Day in 2001, Jerry was presented with his 
high school diploma from the Veterans Administration. This was a very important 
occasion for him and many other veterans.
