Hi all, I just opened my St. Mary Recall and saw that Jeff has passed on. My sympathies to all of you who loved him. I hope he lived life to the fullest he could manage. Marian, Class of 68′.
P.S. As a point of reference…. Bradley I remember you best of all because you were in the same grade as John, my brother. I believe my sister, Bev, was in Jeff’s class. We lived on St.Mary Street, with Wally (sign painter) and Helen (a good Norweigan lady) and brother, Bob.
