I met Jerry lee around 1996 or so when I was installing a satellite dish for a neighbor of his in the Duty Ferry area south of Columbia. He had look at his place for a possible install of one at his house but there was no where to make one work without cutting down a tree or 2 and he didn't want to cut them down. I also was friends with a guy whose step father was another cousin of the family (he was a Swaggart ) that grew up in the Holy Ridge area.
