Big Brother Jeff.... (Spuda)
Growin up Big Brother Jeff was on Westwood High School's Cross Country Track Team ..
So for training he would run the canals at Alma School Road & MountainView... Of course that would turn into swimmin in em.. which was against the law.. Had to take a dip in the water to coooooool off.. He would take off runnin down the hill to the River Bottom a pretty far distance
from our home.. Mckellipps & Alma School Road... He would run without a shirt on just wearin his cut off jean shorts.. ripped up the sides as high as yu could rip em up the seam line.. underwear showin & his runnin shoes.. he would take offfor hours on end... Brother Jeff was quite a long distance runner.. specialized in the 880 representing Westwood... Won many Races.. i LUVED goin to the track meets watchin him run like a beautiful horse.. he had the most spectacular stride.. His teamates were Dan Minor.. the Hackett twins.. Baranowski.. Johnson..
He Luved these boys....
During the summer months his clothing attire consisted of no Shirt.. his cut off
jean shorts.. and tenni shoes.. we didn't wear flip flops back then.. his buddies
David Palmer.. still living in the same area we grew up in is the Stake President
now... Dennis Sowards now on a mission with his wife.. don't let these guys Foool ya they all wore their short short cut off jeans ripped all the way up the sides.. underwear showin thru.. just tryin to survive the Arizona Heat...
After Elder Jeff returned from his Alaska/Canadian mission he met Vicky Brewer..He fell hard for this Beauty.. she lived in Snowflake so that meant he would have to drive 3 1/2 hours to date her.. I knew he was in LUV .. yu could see it all over his face.. all you had to do was say her name and his olive dark skin would turn RED..I would ask to tag along for a ride up north but it was a Terrifying ordeal.. Anyone that has driven with Jeff knows he doesn't follow the Speed Limit.... he makes his own Speed Limit.. and bein in LUV caused him to act Crazy .. Back in those days it was a 2 lane highway not like it is today.. No matter to Spuda..
Spuda was his nickname as we called him.. I would get in the back seat and have to hide laying down in the back seat.. as Spuda was goin 100 miles per hour as he was passin cars roundin the hills.. It was unheard of to make the trip in 2 to 2 1/2 hours back then... I'm here to Testify to it that Spuda did it every single trip to see his future Bride.. Nothin Stopped him from gettin to his Girlfriend .. Pedal to the Medal 100 miles per hour the entire trip...!!!!!
As I have been a part of this journey since you were Diagnosed with Cancer.. your #1 priority has continued to be your Desire & Willingness to Please Vickieabove yourself..as you Demonstrate your LUV for your Beautiful Bride of 40 years time and time again.. Despite the Pain.. Inconvenience.. or Discomfort.. your Choices are determined by making Vickie Happy... I have been Deeply Touched by your LUV and DEVOTION to your Wife and Marriage
for Time and All Eternity...
Thankyou Big Brother for Sharing your Life with me.... LUV my Big Brother Jeff (Spuda)..
Luv ya,
Cyndi your Sis.....
