More Information

Jenner was one of the first friends Lyon made while they were students at the University of Chicago. Jenner was a professional motorcycle racer. He had a steel plate in his arm and scars all over him from racing accidents. In his fifth floor dorm room he built a racing cycle that had to be lowered out by crane, and he was later expelled for driving through a campus building on one of his bikes.
