Jones 5431 Sierra Vista Ave., Riverside, California 92505 Dear Mr. Jones, You may recall that I took a picture of you with my digital camera at the 60thAnniversary of Fort Detrick, at the Mount Saint Marys College gym, way back on 4 October, 2003. After a bout with the "Honk if you love Jesus virus" (which knocked out myoId computer), after buying a new Compaq computer, and sending it back for repairs, (and it must again be returned to fIXthe same problem), I have been able to print the picture. And, after searching several pages of the Jones family in the Frederick phone book, I turned to a higher source, the office of our great Congressman Roscoe Bartlett. I trust I have the correct address. My father was named Samuel Jones Tilden French, born on 23 January, 1876. (There was no genealogical connection to Mr. Tilden.) Tilden, a Democrat, had won the popular vote, but the Electoral College picked Rutherford B. Hayes as president. I understand that some sources on the left consider this as the first step in the evilution of the American college! I enjoyed meeting you, and enjoyed the scope of the meeting celebrating the 60thAnniversary of Detrick. Thank you very much for the pin commemorating the Whitecoat Project. I like the clever design.
