Jeff Calder's 50th Birthday Memoirs > Don Pickard (1)

Draft Card Burning
On Concerning The Jeff; Three Points in Time:
1. "The Total Loss", that's what Jeff's mother's car was known as after driving it from Lakeland to Plant City on the railroad tracks, or should I say on the cross ties. Mrs. Calder never understood why her car was constantly falling apart.
2. Jeff's burning of the draft card at LHS. The girl's were crying and begging him not to do it. They said he go to prison and wanted to save him.
3. "I'll meet you under the Golden Arches," Jeff said to the brutish Stuart Guthrie. Guthrie was about to kill Jeff when he challenged him to an after school main event at McDonalds. The crowd gathered, and Guthrie was shirtless and ready to whip the dandy Calder. As the car screeched around the corner, Jeff was hanging out of the window yelling something like, "Anytime, sucker!"
