JAKE HIGH-LIGHTS & LOW-LIGHTS:

This is a walk through Jake history and it will be updated on a continual basis through the years. It will detail the Highs & Lows of each Jake. Anyone is welcome to author an add to this post - simply let me know privately and I'll put it up here. I've put a link on the right hand column called 'JAKE HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS' under the 'ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW' heading.
