Description:
WWII vet "Jones said he always wished he was taller than 5-foot-8 while playing basketball as a youth. In war, he was thankful for his rather small stature, as bullets whizzed past the top of his head several times. “If I was any taller, I’d be dead,” Jones said." photo credit Andrew Krech / The Citizens’ Voice
