What a delight to hear my dear father, Jonathan’s, voice. He was not only a fine actor, he was a wonderful man. I miss him and my mother, Betty Hanna, every day.

I was raised in Eldora, IA, the birthplace of the legendary Jonathon Hole. However, there are scant details of his life. I would like to initiate something here to honor him. If anyone can provide details of his young life in Eldora IA it would be much appreciated.
