An overflowing crowd attended Pam Huber's prayer service on Tuesday,Nov. 6. Eulogies were presented from Vicki Day, Kathy Kerr, Julie Gutzmer, and Mary Ann Morford. They all described her as a loving parent, compassionate friend, patient, intelligent, willing to serve wherever needed, shy, dependable, helpful and efficient public servant.

She will be missed by all her friends, coworkers and everyone who knew her. She was so unassuming in all she did. She never did things for the glory. She was content to let others be in the spot light. Another overflowing crowd attended her funeral. They had the streets around the Church and surrounding neighborhood blocked off for places to park all the cars. The street in front of the church was parked 4deep and it continued on the other streets. Pastor Peterson gave a great sermon and the funeral was very worshipful although very sad. Now that Ken Huber has been arrested, may there be some closure and all the rumors will be put to rest.

I personally, am not from South Dakota and neither are my friends, but one day I was conducting a report on South Dakota for my American History class and I stumbled across your blog. Ever since then, I've been hooked, and I even turned my friends on to the wild and wacky world of Mr. Jerry Hinkle, the Great One. I hope to read more of your tales of craziness very soon! I am not a blogger. I am not nearly cool enough to do so. I am a freshman college student at Sonoma State majoring in Journalism. I can't wait to see the next blog, dude! On behalf of the Hinkleton community, take care!

P.S.- How did that Wesleyan Idol thing go?? I hope you won!

P.S.S.- My girlfriend thinks you are a TOTAL lady's man! What is your secret, oh Great One?!
