Berdeana Jones donated 335 geological specimens (1991.2) to the museum on January 14, 1991, in honor of her husband, Les Jones.  The collection is noted to have been compiled between 1955-1985.  Les was truck driver by trade and an avid collector of rocks/minerals and cacti.  He began collecting rocks in 1965 and developed a fondness for the west and southwest of the United States after trucking produce to that area for years.  He would take a month off each year and travel all around the U.S., looking for pieces for his collection.  Unfortunately, the accession file contains no information about where individual specimens originated.  That information was probably lost when Les passed away.
