After 50 plus years of full time work, Hal Jones is officially retired!

Hal Harris Jones didn't work as a kid! He had the capacity, but not the motivation! While his brothers cut lawns; delivered newspapers; bucked hay; feed animals and paid his Coke and fries bill at the Snak Shak, Hal spent his day laying under the cherry tree, with a piece of grass in his mouth. He had such a great personality, nobody seemed to mind. At about sixteen, he and Mike Royce wanted to buy a Honda 50 from Garrett Honda which was the "in thing" during the 1960's. Oh no, Hal had to go to work, and he went at it hard for fifty years, only taking time off for the deer hunt and rodeo's. He started recapping tires for Steve Greenwood, then Rancho Trailers; then 2 years as a front line medic in Viet Nam.That got him prepared for the rest of his career, spending 28 years at the Tooele Army Depot as a Paramedic; then another twenty years as a medical examiner. Along the way, he had part time jobs, but enough time to write great letters to those he loved. My hat goes off to one of the hardest working guys I know and to say his 1964 graduation prediction was way wrong. I now hope he can figure out how to put snow chains on his Harley for winter.
