They’re Still Standing Tall

Earl Gustkey’s story on Howard Jones [Dec. 24] was very interesting. I enjoyed it, particularly since I did not know my husband, Joe, when he played football at USC, nor did I ever know Howard Jones.

However, I can attest to the fact that not all of Howard Jones’ players are “bent by the weight of their years.”

Here is a picture I took of my husband, Joe, and Amby Schindler in late December. I think they’re in pretty good shape and certainly not bent over! Joe is engaged in regular combat with a punching bag, and I understand Amby’s routine includes surfing.
