Interesting Ryan Driscoll tidbit

[QCHawkeye]

Ryan was actually related to Bobby Driscoll who was the original voice of Disney’s Peter Pan. After digging into family records, I found that Ryan’s grandfather, Frank Driscoll, and Bobby’s dad, Cletus Driscoll, were brothers. That makes Ryan Bobby’s first cousin once removed, and second cousin to Bobby’s daughter, Aaren. Both families trace back to Daniel Edward Driscoll from Holbrook, Iowa. Pretty cool.

Ryan died much too young. I remember when he was a big QB recruit from CR, read about it in Voice of The Hawkeyes.

I played basketball at Jefferson with Ryan's dad, Pat, who also died much too young. Very sad sad situation for all involved.

I realize that I do not need to visit this thread and won't any more but there is some false information. I was a good friend of Ryans father Pat who passed, and after connecting with his wife on this can state this is not true.
