Boyd Jefferies was a very intense, hard-working individual, there was no one that worked longer or harder than him. This organization was very dear to him. It was his way of remembering his son and having others remember him as well. It now serves as a memorial to both Boyd and his son, and is a legacy that we continue with great pride and optimism.
