Jennifer And Chris
From James Donahue’s Journal
During her time at Caro High School, among Jennifer’s closest friends was Chris Sheets, a young man who lived a few miles down the road. Chris, the son of a local dentist whose mother was a real Alaskan Eskimo, was a tall, strikingly handsome boy. He was quiet, courteous and well-mannered and it was easy, I suppose, for Doris and me to think of him as a good marital match for Jennifer.
In those high school years Jennifer and Chris got involved in a strange quest to search out UFOs that they claimed they were seeing frequently in the skies over Caro. I recall one night when Jennifer called the house to say there were several strange lights in the sky that should be easily visible right over our house. I ran out in the yard and searched the skies but found nothing unusual.
One Halloween I drove Jennifer and Chris on a strange trip to visit an area cemetery where it was rumored that strange lights always appeared on that day. We drove into the little country cemetery and then waited for a long time, hoping to observe a real ghost. We were disappointed when nothing materialized.
Jennifer had several friends during high school, and Chris remained the best of them all. Jennifer also had several boyfriends during that period, but never really dated Chris. When we asked her about it she would just smile and explain that Chris was her friend but that she did not think of him in that way.
Chris went on to Michigan State University where he studied architecture. I think Jennifer still stays in touch with him.
