Thank you for your kind words. I lost contact with Jeff in 1989. I was working at a dept. school and was about to graduate from college, when I last saw him. He told me he was going to have a nose job. He also told me about the wonderful job prospects his mom had set up for him at Universal Studios. Upon his death, he was a computer graphics specialist. I feel so much for his mom and step dad, for Jeff was her only child. Jeff was very close to her and he lived with her for most of his life. His dad was a different story. His dad enrolled him in Straight Orlando sometime in 86. I was still his girlfriend at the time, so I was the subject of many discussions about his drug use. Everyone at Straight convinced his dad and step mom, that I was his drug problem, when I was not a drug user. I remember going to many "rap sessions" and when that was no longer possible due to my work/class schedule, I had to report in with his dad each week to get progress on Jeff. I don't know if Jeff ever found that special someone and I just knew that I couldn't live like this anymore. Upon graduation from UCF, I met and married my husband, Jim. I have been married for almost 12 years and we have three children, 8, 3, and 2. I wondered from time to time how my first love was doing and just recently found out about his death. A few friends from high school said that he overdosed. I wondered if Straight had anything to do with his death?
