Jeffy

NOYC: We recently had a chance to talk with Jeff Hampton.  For those who don’t know Jeff, he is a second-generation member of New Orleans Yacht Club and has been active in sailing with our club for over twenty-five years.  He also has “nice hair” and is probably one of our best-dressed members.  For those of you who have heard rumors of his controversial relatives, they are true.  Our Jefferson Davis Hampton is the great, great, great, grandson of the President of the Confederacy and the great great grandson of Wade Hampton who was the General of the Virginia Militia.
