Jerry Haynes aka "Mr. Peppermint" passes

Those of you who grew up here know who I am talking about-The beloved host of the Mr. Peppermint show has passed away. Mr. Peppermint ran for nearly four decades here in the DFW area with more than 6,000 episodes. You, Muffin the Bear and Mr. Wiggly Worm will sorely be missed. Now you may ask why I am posting this on a music blog-Jerry was none other than the father of Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfer fame-not that Jerry needs this accolade to stand on his own right, R.I.P. Mr. Haynes.
