Trying to locate someone in PA.

[GaryC]

Hey guys, this is probably a long shot but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I'm trying to locate an Air Force buddy of mine that I was stationed with at Dover AFB Delaware in the mid to late 70's, 74-79. His name is Gerald Delp, but was called Gerry. We were both hot rod nuts back then and he had a gold 67 Nova 4 speed and I had my black 69 Z28. His home was in Pennsylvania somewhere but I have forgotten where over time. I'm thinking he is around my age, I'm 61, so he could be the same age give or take a year either way. I've found about 22 Gerry and Jerry Delp's when I Googled but I thought I would ask here first before I started to bother those people. Anybody in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania heard of him? I am really interested in locating my friend if that is even possible. He WAS a big chevy nut at the time and most likely still is. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Yeah, I already have that info. Lots of guys here from PA, thought I would ask here first before I started calling people.

I looked at that as well but I have no other info to go by, just a name. It would most likely give me the same 22 people the white pages gave me already when I Googled.

Does he have a son that might also be into chevy's?

John I couldn't say. We were 2 single guys blasting away just like all the other singles guys with musclecars on the base. I was just 22 then.

There is a Gerald Delp here in Oley PA. Not far from me at all. I thought the name sounded familiar when I read the posts. I just had to check it out for you.

Do you know him at all? I'm pretty sure 'Gerry&quot; was the only Delp stationed at Dover AFB so that should be good enough to confirm it's him if you happen to contact him. I appreciate the help, otherwise I'd be bugging a lot of people in PA.

[Nova Jed]

I am in the process of finding out if he was in the Air force.

[Nova Jed]

Check Jerry Delp on Facebook. He lives in the Oley area and was an Airman.

Thought that name sounded familiar, was thinking.... CeeGee Cruise Nights.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[Nova Jed]

I have some friends from the area on Facebook that are checking it out. Should be pretty cool if this turns out to be the guy Gary is looking for.

[GaryC]

I'm fairly sure he is known as Gerry and not Jerry, unless he changed that afterwords. It's worth a shot to find out though. Not a member of the social networks but I'll see if I can find something out without joining.

[GaryC]

I just Googled Jerry Delp facebook and came up with a young kid with tatoo's, no sirree that's not him.


And to add...I clicked search for not the right Jerry Delp and may have a hit but the problem is I only remember his younger face which does change over years. I just have to get a firm confirmation it is him. All the info he's providing, especailly the music he likes seem like it is him...and he does go by Jerry then instead of Gerry. Hmmmmm, I may have had it wrong all these years.

[Nova Jed]

From Lobachsville?

[GaryC]

If you Google Jerry Delp there is a kid with tatoos, but if you look at the other Delps he is the one kneeing with the dog in the pics off to the right down a little. Not being a member of Facebook I can't get any other info except what is there when I click on his pic. I'm trying to image his younger looks in my mind from the pic provided and it does seem to be who I'm looking for. My son has a facebook account, I'll see if he can bring him up and I can go from there. Maybe get a number.


Jed...Lobachsville?

[Nova Jed]

The man kneeling with the dog was the one that I had seen from this area. Yes Lobachsville.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

There is a guy in Lobachsville with a convertible Impala and a '69 Camaro convertible, used to drive by every day.....

[GaryC]

Jed...I sent you a PM. I'm thinking the more I look at his pic the more I think it is my friend. I usually don't forget a face but after 40 years it's hard to tell.

[Ironarms]

You see the the black and white photo he has on FB? May be closer to what you remember? I live in this area also , if i can help ...

I'm not a Facebook member so I can't log on his full site. Any help would be appreciated to find out something. Jed posted for me but haven't had a confirmation yet if it is the Jerry/Gerry Delp that I had known in the 70's.

Gary, just pick up the phone can call. I've called on a bunch of strangers just because of their name. In 30 mins you could know! Plan B is to join FB and reach out to a guy who could be your buddy. For the sake of old friends, make a move tonight. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone!

No phone number. My son has a Facebook account but he is in Virginia on a job until this weekend. I only posted here to see if anyone knew him since he was from PA. Never hurt to ask first. If it doesn't work this way calling will be next.

[Nova Jed]

That is the same one that I have found. Sent him a message on Friday, so we shall see if he sends me a message back.

Could very well be him, with longer hair though. My memory is fuzzy for things that far back but I usually don't forget a face. Of all the Delps I found on Facebook, he is the best candidate based on my memory.

Jed, is there an email or does Facebook not show that kind of info?

[GaryC]

Hey guys, I appreciate the help. I don't have a need to do the social network think, just not my bag, and my son isn't around this week or I would have had him get on his account on my computer. Would have been much simpler.

[Nova Jed]

Gary, I will text my friend to see what she came up with, but I h hadn't noticed an email.

[GaryC]

Nothing so far. My son got home for the holidays and he got on his account and sent a message today. Hopefully he'll get on but he may be like me and not have any interest in this social stuff either.

[GaryC]

Hey guys, thanks for trying. I got nothing so far. My son posted a message Friday and so far zilch. He's probably not even wondering about it/me, I can leave that impression sometimes, his memory isn't so good, or he just hasn't been on his account lately. I thought I would at least get a &quot;No, it's not me&quot; reply. No biggy. Something my son thought he saw was he may have lost a relative just recently. Only time will tell. Thanks again guys.
