Jeff's Story
Life
live in woodridge after 6 years in lisle, married in 2000 to wendy allen, dated since 1985- don't ask its a long story!!
no kids, have 1 cat, 1 dog and 1 20 gallon fish tank. love old muscle cars and have a 1965 chevy impala ss that i have owned since 1984. used to play drums in a couple of garage bands in the early 80's with friends, played men's hockey on and off since 1989. i was a goalie. hope to get back on the ice again before im too old!!! used to detail cars as a side job, hoping to do that again for some extra money. i belong to the downers grove vfw and lisle vfw in the mens auxillary.
i was not in the service, but gained interest in it because my dad and my father in law were world war 2 veterans, plus its a great place to have a few beers!! so i do some volunteer work at each post- helping with poppy days and marching in the lisle memorial day parade. i would love to hear from all my old classmates from 1st grade to 12th!!
School
best class- tv 1 and 2. mr moore. we did the video of mr rogers neighborhood which people talked about for years after. i was marvin the monkey. it was hilarious.
2 crazy moments i'll never forget
one was dragging a dummy behind my truck in front of the school when school was letting out, with my buddy scott rowley hiding in the back screaming his lungs out, people actually thought i was dragging a real person.
the second had to be a field trip to channel 38 with our tv class, we took one of those special education buses down there, mr. moore was driving, well on the way back we noticed all the cars passing us were staring at us, so we started acting like we were mentally disturbed, making faces at all the drivers, drooling on the windows ect. well mr moore tried to get mad at us, but it was a lost cause, ...Expand for more
and before you know it, he could not control himself and bursted out laughing at us.
another moment was when we played volleyball in our gym uniforms while wearing cowboy boots.
one of my best jr high school moments was in mrs hall's class, i was the class clown and i made a smart comment about something, so trying to embarrass me, she said to me: peters if your so smart why don't you get up here and teach the class. well after encouragement from all the classmates i did!
i threw some of the kids out in the hall, told mrs hall to go to the principle's office and had everyone in stitches!! it was harmless fun and i guess it was my 15 minutes of fame!!
my favorite grade school memorie was in 6th grade, when we video taped ourselves doing skits ect. well me and dave petersen did these parodies of tv commercials. these we all ad-libbed and me and dave were a great team. i never seen 2 teachers laugh so hard. it was a lot of fun making everyone laugh.
