By Christine Reinicker Staff Writer
All of the High Point trolley drivers are unique and recognized by all the students, but when you mention the driver with his collection of classical, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll music constantly playing, everyone knows who it is. Richard Jones is one of High Point's veteran trolley drivers. Having worked here since 2007, Jones has become a familiar face to students, freshman or seniors. Jones grew up in High Point and had his first job as a butcher when he was 15. Although going from a butcher to a trolley driver is a huge change, Jones enjoys what he does and when asked what his favorite part about working here is, he said, "For me it's the kids. Just talking and listening to them." While getting along so well with the students, it's understandable to hear that Jones loves spending time with his own kids and family. He has two sons and when he's not with them he is playing golf or fishing. Besides his love for all music, "except that hip-hop stuff," he jokes, Jones' favorite movie is "In Harm's Way" and his favorite restaurant is Longhorns. Jones is an all around happy guy. And admit it, even if you're running late to class and stuck on the trolley, we've all caught ourselves tapping our foot at least once to his rhythm and blues music. Richard Jones works at the helm of an HPU trolley. Photo by Carolyn Joyce
