Was Jeff Smoker Amish?
From left, Jessie King, Jason Smoker and Dave ''Sledge'' Esh: the teens were going to watch the Super Bowl.

Jeff was a Pennsylvania boy too right? Any amish connection to him?
And wow, my font went to hell... not like the Amish who are very much heavenbound.

Jeff Smoker is Menninite...the two are similar, but I'm sure of the differences between that and Amish.

I think the Menninites have invented electricity, but as of yet the Amish have not invented it.

He is Mennonite I do believe. My friend is Mennonite. There is an Amish offshoot to their group.

Menninite's use more modern conveniences, and are more reliant on modern convenience.

Great story regarding Smoker and being "Amish." At a reception for him in St. Louis he introduced his girlfriend (who is smokin!) and in response to a joke about him being Amish told about how the first time she visited his parents' home in Lancaster there was a huge storm the night before which knocked out the electricity. When they got to his parents' home and his girlfriend saw that there was no electricity she yelled "I knew you were Amish!"
