Happy Birthday! I DID know about the setting fire to the field thing. My Jeremy also wrestled in high school, although I think he was more like 110. Seriously.

Jessica said...

Great list! And yes we did have too much fun at Ricks, I can't even imagine going there with out my big brother!

Wendy said...

What a great tribute to Jeremy!! This pretty much sums up the few words I used to describe him several years ago. "WILD AND CRAZY".

I have to say my favorite one, was getting arrested and detained at the Canadian border (as well as his MOM!!)

This was great.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!!
