Keeping Up With The Joneses

A career brought then to Orlando 28 years ago, but their dream home keeps them here today

When Tom and Linda Jones were first engaged 38 years ago, they would drive around their hometown of St. Louis, Missouri and discuss what they wanted in their ideal home. They found that they were drawn to the big, beautiful plantation homes of the city. Linda recalls one time, as they were driving around dreaming, a police officer pulled the couple over. They explained what they were doing, and much to their delight, the compassionate police officer offered to let them follow his cruiser as he shined a floodlight on the homes of the people he knew were out of town. After marriage, they settled into a small house that was roughly 1,000 square feet with a family room, living room and kitchen, three bedrooms and 1½ baths.
