                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 27, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask that we all pause for a 
moment to remember a man we have lost. B.A. Jones was a man that many 
knew and loved. Mr. Jones passed away in Carrollton on November 6, 
1999.
  B.A. Jones was born on April 9, 1913, the second of ten children born 
to H.J. and Dixie Campbell-Jones. B.A. spent his school years in Monte 
Vista. During World War II, the Government called upon him to travel 
the country recruiting, supervising and building numerous war-related 
projects. After the war, B.A. began construction work and subsequently 
formed his own remodeling and construction firm. In the late 1960's, 
B.A. began the family owned and operated Paradise Swimming Pool 
Corporation, using his self-taught architectural abilities to design 
and create many pools that are still operational to this day.
  Mr. Jones is survived by his loved wife of 60 years, (Annie) Frances 
Cone Jones and their three children.
  B.A. Jones is someone who will be missed by all of us. Those who knew 
him will miss spending time with him. He was truly a great American.
