Heard back from my brother-in-law. I guess he grew up with Jon's younger brother Andy, so didn't get any dirt. He did say that he thought Jon was about the age of his older sister and that they had a large, fairly clique-ish group of 25-30 LDS youth at Corvallis High during that time. And that he thought there was something of an anti-Mormon contingent as well. But this is all just 3rd hand hearsay...
