We met Sandy Jones in 1982 at San Jose State University.  Over the years, we knew Sandy as a volleyball player, a lover of nature and music, a devoted mother, and a dear friend.  Sandy became a California Park Ranger, and her passion for respecting, restoring, and appreciating the beauty of California, both natural and man-made was never-ceasing.

 

Sandy's strength, devotion and love made her a perfect leader and inspiration to the team of community volunteers and park employees who have partnered to restore and now operate the Bale Grist Mill at the Bothe-Napa Valley State Park.
