Detroit ambassador, champion of Detroit, kind soul,
healer and friend. Jeff [aka ItsJeff of the DetroitYES
forum] was a brilliant, humorous and caring forum
member who worked to bring forum members out from behind
their monitors and the anonymity of their avatars into the
real life night spots of Detroit where many real world

are dubbed] he
called out the meeting places and arranged an
annual summer picnics on Belle Isle.
