Came here to snag a cool desktop picture. Glad I did, but sorry to see this news. I registered just to post a salute to this man. That's my favorite episode of Dogfights. Loved to hear him talk. So sad to be losing so many heroes.

Jeff was unique. Though he was best known for the Medal of Honor, he was also a PhD in education and a senior olympics gold medalist (pole vault, IIRC). With his Cajun accent and L'oosiana sense of humor, he was also one of THE most entertaining people I've ever known.
