Booper

Who is Booper?

Jeff.

The story as I know it: When Jeff was pledging his fraternity and he was being introduced as a member to the group, the president mispronounced his last name and called "Please welcome: Brother Booper".  And Booper was born.

I recently heard that name, which always makes me smile, at Jeff's birthday celebration and it reminded me of this list his friends recently made.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sincerely,

Jeff's Wife
