News from Eagle Bend's Past
25 Years Ago
September 20, 1995
Jerry Lorentz was just 24 years old when he and his wife Bev, and son Brad, came to Eagle Bend 20 years ago this month. He moved his body shop out of his dad’s new garage near Wadena and moved into the old livery stable on Main Street. Today, he and Brad work together in the body shop that has a reputation for quality workmanship. Jerry’s Body Shop did not open with the reputation it has today. Jerry said it took about ten years for the public to gain confidence in his abilities to repair and paint cars and trucks.
