Hap Jones Loved Thedford; Estate Keeps Action Alive With Ongoing Gift To TACFF
06/17/2010, Dawn E. Bryant, Thomas County Herald
Hap Jones was a familiar site around Thedford in his red suspenders (black for dress up) and his western hat. He loved Thedford and the Thomas County area and he showed it by giving back to the community while living, and even after he was gone.
Calvin “Hap” Jones was a charter member of the Thedford Area Community Foundation Fund when it began in 2004. His estate keeps that action alive with an ongoing gift to the TACFF.
