We have heard from many of Jeff's friends that he was always inviting them to come visit the gunflint. So many of you said that you wished you would have taken him up on it.

Many of Jeff's friends and family are meeting at The Trail Center the first weekend in May. He would have turned 40 in May of this year. We would love to have you all come up and help us celebrate Jeff's life. He would have loved seeing everyone up there.

This is an entry from Jeffs journal. I didn't even know he kept a journal

Someone told me recently that generosity is always bad because someone always has a reason. Although I agree everyone has a reason, That reason may be paved with good intentions. Some people help others to help themselves, Others because they what it is to need help, and some just wanna make someone smile. All I am saying is there is always reason to be generous and help others. There is never a bad reason to be kind to others.
