H.p. Jones

I took history from H.P. In 1977. Most enjoyable experience I had at Northeast. I always wanted to go back and let him know how much he and his class meant to me. I never did and I regret it. Rest in peace.

He was my teacher first, the best I ever experienced. He later became one of my best friends. I think of him often and miss that great laugh and perpetual smile. I was honored to become one of “the troops”. Love you Perry.

I was fortunate to spend time with Dr. Jones away from the classroom as well as having him as teacher during my college career at NLU/ULM. He was the most fascinating and genuine person I've ever known. His daughters and wife absolutely adored him, finding great solace in his unique and immensely positive attitude toward life. It seemed every minute I spent in his company was an adventure. He taught me how to hammer bent nails straight to be used again, and he recycled long before it was...

Perry Jones was the best teacher I ever had and became one of my dearest friends. I love him. After completing World History 101, I approached Dr Jones in the SUB one day and said, "Dr Jones, I am old enough now to realize an opportunity when I see one. I could never forgive myself if I didn't try to become your friend." He looked me straight in the eyes and let out that famous sigh with a huge grin and said Ah, Terry my boy, have a seat and join the troops! Perry, it was an honor to be one...

Never enjoyed History until I experienced Dr. Jones' American History class at ULM in the early 80's. I am a teacher today and have referred to Dr. Jones, as an example of a great teacher, many times. He had a way of making the subject come to life.

Coach Jones taught me how to shoot a left-handed lay up when I was in the 7th grade and took the team to see Mississippi College and Delta State play basketball in Clinton, Ms. We when to the Krystal in downtown Jackson prior to the game. I remember him purchasing my burger and coke. He was a great teacher and a better man. God bless Perry Jones.

Dr. Jones was the best teacher I ever had!!! I hope he still gets to travel in his next life. No one could ever replace him. R.I.P. Doc.

I told my students at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania that Dr. Jones was a role model for me. I never had him in class when I was a student at ULM, but I was well aware of his significantly positive influence on the University. I visited with him over the years at various functions at my alma mater when I was back in Louisiana. He is a true ULM legend.
