Episode 8
In this episode, I interview one of my Pacific Northwest friends, Jeff. The name "Jeffrey" is traditionally a masculine name deriving from German and English origin. The name translates to "pledge of peace" or "God's peace" in English. In German, it means "district" or "traveler" and is a twist on the variant, "Geoffrey." Jeffrey became a family favorite in homes from the mid-1950s to the late 70s.
