I always knew Jeff was a clown, but some of the things he did to Cliff were new stories I found out by reading "Oh Brother". Jeff was the cousin of many, but he was the one I happened to be the closest with (could of been we were 2 of the 3 youngest out of 20+ grandkids). Jeff and Lynn and me and Nelson lived in apt bldgs across from each other early in our marriages. We spent a great deal of time together. We also spent so much time together when we were in early college years before Jeff went to VA. Jeff dated 3 of my friends so naturally we spent some time out drinking. If I drank too much...I was always able to tell my dad (Jeff's favorite Uncle Jim) that it was Jeff's fault. That was the best chance I had to get away with it. It was great to read about his silliness and his torture towards Cliff. The best part as Cliff told me...is that he never got mad, not once...he laughed right along with him!!! Love you all. Kristin

Kristen,
ReplyDeleteThat is just Cliff's side of things...Jeff had tricks and treasures for all of us. Cliff did a wonderful job using 'sekective' stories to pull it all together....amazingly! As I told Cliff this morning, we could write volumes!.....well, Jeff was taught by the best.
