Love Notes: Mr. Jones Goes To D.C.

Almost any time I turn over calendar to the next month, I think of Bryant Jones. Whenever I reflect on the six months my family spent living at Condo del Sol back in the mid-1980s after our house fire, I think of Bryant’s mom who moved into a neighboring condo during that time. She had come to Sandpoint from Southern Idaho to serve as the new Magistrate Judge in town. She has remained a good friend ever since. For a time, Debra Heise lived there alone. By the time we moved back home, however, Debra’s husband Jeff Jones and her little boy Bryant had joined her in Sandpoint. Later, the Jones-Heise family would add Zach (now working on a Master’s Degree in South Korea); then came Mackenzie (a Sandpoint High junior)/ Marianne Love , Love Notes, River Journal. More here .

DFO: Many of you remember Bryant Jones’ father, Jeff, from his time as a city attorney both in Coeur d’Alene and later in Sandpoint.
