We also jumped into the initial program for "mobile TCA's" where we were going to drive the big people movers back & forth to the hanger parking area. In that program at least we got a nice 2 week training session in STL before the program fell apart due to schedule cuts. He did have lots of stories from the radio days that were hilarious. His "on air" name was Kinky Jeff Peters when he was at KLZ-FM which to any Denver folks in the late '70s was a great Hard Rock station.--- Rest in Peace buddy!! -John Gleason (11/20/08) Thanks for letting me know about Jeff. I remember him well. He had relatives who own/run a funeral home near here. I used to kid him about not going into the business. -Jake Lamkins (11/20/08) JEFF P.
