Robins: It’s the Year of the Dragon on the Lunar calendar, and this Chinese influence could extend to it also being the year of the Pekingese on the green carpet at the 136th Westminster Dog Show on Tuesday.
AP“It’s just part of my past, part of my history,” Rob Jones said. “We look at it and just try to keep moving.”
Since Rob is the oldest son, he’s carrying the family legacy.
“I think he’s doing it with basketball, but there’s more to come,” his father said.
Jones Jr. admits he’s biased, but said he sees leadership in his son. They talk about life and they talk about basketball.
“I was talking to him about the UConn game. I said, ’Rob, you can’t get into foul trouble. You’re the muscle of the team, you’re going to be playing some bigger guys, some power guys, and if you’re not out there, the team will suffer. This is how you affect other people.’
“That’s what I’m trying to teach him about the Jones name — you have the power to affect people positively. It may be on the court, off the court, in the classroom. Again, he’s 19 years old. He’s not going to come up with a cure for cancer but I think he’ll contribute to society.”
Jones Jr. didn’t return to Jonestown after the mass suicide, so he didn’t see the bloated bodies or the vat of poisoned punch.
“Looking back on it almost 30 years later, I don’t have that negative memory. I don’t have that Kodak print in the back of my mind,” he said.

“I was looking for the answer. Ten years ago, I realized there wasn’t an answer to what happened. That’s when I stopped asking myself, ’Why?’ I’m looking forward, not back.”
Watching his son in the WCC tournament, something struck Jones Jr.
“I told Rob the other day, ’You know, Jones is on the back of your jersey. San Diego is on the front. Always look forward.’ “
Now, it’s about basketball.
“To me, what’s going to happen after I pass away is the story of Jonestown is going to be over,” Jones Jr. said. “It won’t live on through Rob and that’s OK. I don’t want it to live on. He’s making a new name for himself, and by doing so is changing the legacy of our family. That’s the good part. You normally don’t see that within a lifetime.”
