Border Patrol Agent Jefferson L. Barr

Wow, 25 years have gone by and our memories of him are still strong. I have been to many gatherings and memories of Jeff are still spoken. I got to work with Jeff during those eight quick years and as others reported it was always a good time. We worked hard and kept busy. Jeff was extremely productive. He could jump barbed wire fences like a white tailed buck and his night vision was 20-20. He believed in our Mission. He was always on the hunt. I recall once he was going on vacation and he showed me a trail being used on the Bowles. He told me it was due for narcotics. He tasked me (I was a Sup by then) to catch the bad guys. I didn't want to let him down so I worked it all I could. I never caught them but I tried. I didn't want to disappoint Jeff. He was great to work with, fun at choir practice, and always had your back. RIP
