Produktbeschreibung

My story takes place in Green Cove Springs, Florida, a small town in Clay County, resting on the western banks of the historical St. John's River. Seeing Green Cove from across the river in St. John's County, it looks like a lush green paradise, full with oaks and peppered with tall pines reaching for the sun as they shade the banks with their thick foliage. Our town is located on the St. John's at a point where the river makes a 90-degree bend as it flows northward to the Atlantic Ocean. This bend forms a huge cove, where fish and wildlife are abundant. Up the banks near the downtown area is a huge natural spring that constantly flows thousands of gallons of crystal clear water into the St. John's. Conveniently, the public pool, with its surrounding park, was constructed in the path of the flowing spring water. Green Cove is a quiet town with a rich history. She can tell you stories of her past that will keep you spellbound for hours. I am proud to have been born and raised there. Green Cove also has a past that most people would never have known about...

That is, until now.

Autorenporträt

Born in Green Cove Springs, Florida, on September 18, 1950, McFerrel Jones became the first child of Annie Louise Jones, who was 16 years old at the time. Because of his mother's young age, his grandparents Frank and Rosa Jones mostly raised him. Rosa was a devout Christian, and it was through her love and guidance that he learned about God and the highest of moral values at an early age. Church and Sunday school were musts under the Jones' rules.McFerrel served in the US Navy for 20 years, from May 1969 through April 1989, as an Aircraft Refueler. He served aboard the Aircraft Carriers USS John F. Kennedy CV67 and USS Saratoga CV60, as well as other shore-based commands.In 1972 McFerrel met Mattie Jackson in Green Cove. She later became his wife, and through her, the Lord has blessed him with four children of his own: two boys and two girls.McFerrel didn't move back to Green Cove Springs after retiring from the military. Instead, he made his home in another small town 149 miles south of Green Cove-a little place called Orlando, Florida-and it is here that McFerrel plans to retire permanently.
