Well, I interviewed him in 1999 for 2 hours and he told me the Heinz Ketchup story himself, but since I have no way of proving that, I guess we will have to go with the Anti-German sentiment. He said he was born out of wedlock and thus the name change was forced to protect the Heinz family. (posted by 67.85.217.130, originally unsigned)

Plus, I don't really think there was much Anti-German sentiment during WWII. Anti-Nazi, yes, but not Anti-German. That was so WWI. Thats when things were called Liberty Cabbage. But no one will read this anyway. (posted by 67.85.217.130, originally unsigned)

I see your point, but I'm wary of putting any unpublished, undocumented information into an encylopedia article, especially when it contradicts other published reports. If you have a documented source that trumps the newspaper article, please post it and we can make some changes. --BaronLarf 16:46, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

He may have lived in Scotch Plains but he also lived in South Orange. Orel Puppington 05:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some personal historical details

I worked in the Arrowhead Springs Hotel maintenance department when Jerry Hines was staying there. (About 1965.) He showed up in the basement maintenance shop asking for help making a "Hawaiian sling" which is a spear for underwater fishing. The man stood six feet seven inches tall and was as broad as a doorway. He wanted two, and we rooted around and found that there was enough material to make three. "Have you ever been diving in the Pacific?" he asked me.

A 21 year old kid, standing in front of one of the world's finest basso profundos... all I could say was, "No, sir."

"Well, you will love it!"

So I built three fishing spears, and true to his word, I was called the next morning to join the expedition to the ocean. And so I learned to free dive in the Pacific Ocean at Palos Verdes, and I watched Jerome Hines take a deep, deep series of breaths and then dive down and spend nearly two full minutes poking about in the crevices and vegetation under 20 feet of water, while I could only watch in awe between quick trips to the surface for air.

I read the words of my colleagues above. If I had been an interviewer, this story would undoubtedly be much different. But Jerry Hines was a Mentor, in the finest sense of the word.
