Twas Spit's buddy that got fleeced for the $75, I believe, but either way, it was absolutely true.
At the last Vous, Turkeyburd kept getting wrong number calls from somewhere out of state, so on the next one Forrest answered Turkeyburd's phone. I only heard one side of the conversation, but it went something like this:
"Hello..... well how bout you tell me what you want with her?.... Yessir, this is her phone, but I'm asking you what you want with her.... Are you the one that's been calling my wife?.... You don't have any business callin my wife, she's a married woman... Well maybe you can give me an address and I'll come up there right now and we'll discuss it... Dang right it's my business, and I'm a big enough fella to take care of it... Well then don't call my wife's phone again!"
Click.
Always wondered if he lost a job for some woman, sent a company spiraling into bankruptcy, or screwed up a multi-million dollar merger. Thanks to that "click", we'll never know.

Jeff was a gooden! I visited him at UT when he originally found out he had cancer and had the privelage of meeting his entire family! I truly hate to hear this news as Jeff was as fine a person as exists! Had some good times with Jeff and hunting his place in Lincoln co. He will be sorely missed!!

I thought so. I still get a laugh out of that.

I remember posting a black-n-white photo of my great grandfather's store in Cleveland,Tn. Jeff was all over that and PM'd me and told me he remembered the store, that led to his further recollection of a newspaper write up about the store and an interview with my great uncle.
Jeff, ran down the local newspaper archives and got me a copy of the newspaper and clipped out the article and mailed it to me!!!
I didn't even ask him to do any of this, he was just excited about doing it. So cool, I still have the oversize padded envelope and the article in my office. I looked at the other day and thought about his kindness for sending it to me. I got to meet him 3 years ago at one of the Vous get togethers.

Well sadly I can only recall seeing him at the last 'vous. It was my first vous and I remember Forrest but I still can't recall if I actually introduced myself or not. I was meeting several Tndeer people in a short time so I didn't get to know many well.
Even with how little I knew him, I still feel a great loss. RIP Mr. Bentley
