Doug Jones
 
Congratulations on your retirement!
Most recently, Mr. Jones has worked for the Lake City Community School - keeping all the computers up and running (no small task) and championing the installation of a state-of-the-art weather station (Doug also did all the behind-the-scenes fundraising).
 
Doug also serves on the Lake Fork Community Foundation which fund-raises and provides those funds to local charitable organizations and endeavors. 
 
As a community, we appreciate your efforts, dedication, and knowledge, and Doug - we wish you well in future adventures.
