Uncle Bob Jones - Mom's brother died 12 yrs ago today. He was in his 80's and a very interesting man. Born in Burly Idaho. Moved to Burbank at the age of 12 he went to John Muir and Burbank High class of '44. At 18yrs old he joined the Navy and there began to think about a career with horses. He purchased the Lazy 3 - a riding academy in Glendale and a hang-out for Hollywood cowboys. Like Jack Fishburn (jockey), Robert Fuller, and Chuck Courtney. He later bought a ranch in Placerita Canyon. He was co-founder of the LA Horse Show Exhibitors Assoc. and served ten yrs as President there. He had a long and interesting life and is missed.
