When I think of Jeff, I think of many things:

Mrs Mundell's Kindergarten Class at Trinity Church
(Read about our ride down West St, and our interest in the Church Steeple)

1st day as West St School / walked home for every lunch
Cub Scout Pack 135 in Fellowship Hall
YMCA Summer Day Camp
Playing in the Silo at his cousins Farm in Charlton
Wells Jr. High / recess in the middle courtyard, which we accessed thru the Window!
SHS Class of 1969 experiences and our Graduation
The many games we played (Golf, Badminton, Chess, Archery, Etc.)
Best Man at my wedding / I photographed his
Births of our children (Cory, Allyssa, Chris and Erica)
His wife JoAnne Babysat for our kids
