Upon graduation, his first job was

He learned to cook after moving
there and it was in Thomaston that
he met Kristy, who later became
his wife. She was a native of

tended Valdosta State College at the
same time Jeff had attended, but
they did not know each other.
They were married, and since then,
have enjoyed cooking and entertain

to do the cooking and cooks lots of
seafood and enjoys fresh produce.
Jeff was recruited by Kellwood as

a home in Lea Glen and lived there
until they built their present home
on Cedar Ridge.

Shelton Utility Service Co. head
quartered in Perry. The company is
responsible for maintenance of steel
water towers and tanks.
Jeff and Kristy have two daugh
ters. Ashley, 18, is a senior at
Perry High School and will be at
tending Valdosta State University
this fall, majoring in Education.
She is a member of some clubs and
is employed at Trainer
Olds/Cadillac in Warner Robins.
Keri, 9, is a third grader at Tucker
Elementary School. She is begin
ning to help with cooking by
"stirring the pot"
Jeffs hobbies include golf and
music. He enjoys playing the pi
ano, which he studied for eight
years, and sometimes entertains
their guests. Kristy is a third grade
teacher at Tucker Elementary
School and has taught school for
more than 20 years. She is also a
member of the Akikta Club.
The family attends First Baptist
