right now at Graf Nissan and Graft Chevy of Okamists.
Great deals. We're offering zero percent financing on select vehicles
up to sixty months. If you're a Casto member. We
got extra rebates for that. We're getting fresh inventory every day.
It's been a great summer. We got great deals for you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Zero percent. Can't get much lower than that. That's exactly right, Papacy,
Matt in the gang here on West Grand River, Okamiz.
They're making friends. I want to say a quick hello.
Got a couple of minutes left, but John Shinsky is
here and talk about Cleveland's gift of Michigan State. It
isn't just Clinton Jones. This is a captain in nineteen
(00:47):
seventy three and the guy that Hall of Famer Joe
Delomelera still says is a tough sky You read the block,
but talk about dogged determination. We have seen that over
the years with all the great things he done special
education and going on to Grand Valley, a distinguished career
there and his greatest contribution his legacy the Shinsky Orphanage
(01:10):
in Madam Morris, Mexico. John, How are you doing great?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Jack?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Does your blood start to flow just a little faster
this time of year?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. And he gets even faster
as he keeps going.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I've heard enough stories about you that you know. I
know you had the surgeries. I know how that all
affected your football career. But if you had to go
out and play one series against Michigan, could you put
a hit on somebody?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I sure could, I thought so, you had no question.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So stay away from number eighty eight wherever you are.
It's a word to the wise. Very quickly. What's new
at the Orphanage? I know you've been down there recently.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, I was down there recently. Their kids are doing well,
the staff's doing well, working closely with the commune. I'm
just so pleased because so many great things have happened,
and it just doesn't happen based on us building the facility.
The most important thing is how do you build a
(02:13):
community for these children? And the Lansing community has been
in Michigan State community has just been so phenomenal. Ever
since the beginning for the last fifteen years supporting this.
So it's been a great venture and the kids are
doing great and Cyddy and I'll be down there on September, fourth, fifth,
and sixth.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
September, fourth, fifth, and sixth, fantastic. We were talking earlier
with Mike Pearson, who was a book publisher in one
of his other lives, Rich Kincaid, who has an award
winning book. I'm working on number nine right now, and
the big news is that there's going to be a
John Shinsky book and then not too distant future.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, that's correct, Jack, I've been working on it for
a few years.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Fantastic. There are so many great stories. I'll tell you
what if you get a chance to sit down with
John C. Sheensky and he tells you you couldn't make this up.
I mean, this is just too unbelievable, all the things
that have happened, and you know you have found a
way to make the dream of reality.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh yeah, no question about it. Jack. There's been so
many people that have been part of it. But we've
been blessed in so many different ways with miracles and
things that have happened that you never would have imagined. Now,
how does a person build an orphanage in Matamoris, Mexico
without them even knowing that madam Mer's Mexico Mexico existed?
(03:38):
And I don't even speak Spanish.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So what's the obstacle with that? What's the barrier? How
do you handle it?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Fantastic. I had people come together and that happened. I
was blessed. As a matter of fact, there was a
Spartan down in South Padre Island who owned a restaurant there.
It was one of my first connections. His name was
Tom Hansen, and uh, my first connection is to be
able to get to know people around that area. And
then it expanded from there to there to there to there,
(04:09):
and it just kept going. And then once I got
into Metamors, it spread more even more.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You don't speak Spanish, but you're very fluent in another language,
the language of love, absolutely, and hugs and caring and compassion.
That's going to be in the first paragraph of your
attle bit.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, Jack, to tell you the honest truth. You know,
it's one thing to say it, but at the same
time I felt it. I was an orphan. I came
up in an orphanage. People took me in in a
foster home. I was blessed to be able to go
to Cleveland Saint Joseph High School and a great school
and a great education. And then of course Michigan State Spartans.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You can't beat that planned for Duffy Doughty in one
year with Denny Stoles.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's correct. Last year. Yeah, I was captain and he
was coach.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, how about that? Are you hungry?
