Jerry and Terry C. Drake Scholarship Endowment

Jerry and Terry C. Drake (Drazdik) owned and operated “Terry and Jerry’s O Sole Mio” restaurant in Bay City for many years. The business opened in 1951. Mr. Drake passed away in 1980. Mrs. Drake, who passed away in 2000, left a substantial gift in her estate to establish the endowment. The Drakes were singers who left the show business circuit to purchase the restaurant. Seventy-five (75) percent of the interest from the endowment provides scholarships for Delta students, with the remaining 25 percent to support Delta College Quality Public Broadcasting.
