James B. Jones III - Age 82

We recently received this note from Dell Jones:

Hello,I wanted to pass on my father’s information for the alumni of Harza Engineering.  As a 10-year-old boy I was able to live in Kandahar Afghanistan while my father worked for Harza.

I am following to some degree his work in electrification as a professional in the solar industry and hold in high regard his work for Harza in 1967 to 1969.  
His Obituary follows:
