The Faulconer\u2019s established a multi-million dollar trust of which Marshall is a 50% beneficiary.

Bartow Ned Jones graduated with a BA from the University of Virginia in 1968, where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall fraternity, president of his college, and a member of The Honor Committee, while lettering in freshman football and varsity golf.\u00a0 He received a graduate assistantship for the University of Arizona, where he also taught undergraduate classes.\u00a0 There he met the love of his life Fern Porter.\u00a0 They were married in 1971 and have three children and five grandchildren.<\/p>\n
Ned was Chairman of the Democratic Election Committee for Huntington in 1985 before becoming a State Senator in 1986.\u00a0 No sooner was Ned in the Senate then Marshall\u2019s young Medical School was faced with a serious accreditation issue.\u00a0 Ned helped lead the fight in the WV Senate to find the funds necessary to address the accreditation problem.\u00a0 At the time, William P. Bristol, Associate Dean of the School of Medicine, wrote: \u201cThe support and rapid help of Senator Ned Jones has eased this jeopardy at a time of great need for our school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our Med Schools faced a legislative challenge in March of 1990.\u00a0 Tom Miller, a Herald-Dispatch reporter, wrote \u201cSen. Ned Jones, who fought the salary reduction (elimination of $1,500,000 in vacant positions) at the medical schools, said it would have had a \u2018serious impact on faculty recruiting.\u2019\u00a0 He convinced the Senate Finance Committee to restore the funding in its 1990-91 budget.\u00a0 Dr. Charles McKown, dean of the Marshall University School of Medicine, agreed.\u00a0 \u2018This would have seriously jeopardized our residency programs and ultimately our school\u2019s accreditation,\u2019 McKown said.\u00a0 \u2018We have about a dozen vacancies right now and one of those is chairman of the surgery department.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n
In 1991, MU\u2019s School of Medicine was faced with a full frontal attack in our legislature, when WVU backed Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 47.\u00a0 Its purpose was to move the teaching of the Health Sciences out of Marshall\u2019s School of Medicine to Morgantown.\u00a0 It had already passed the House and appeared on the brink of passing the Senate.\u00a0 Ned employed a new approach in the Senate when he rose to argue that the loss of the Health Sciences would not only cut the heart out of our Med School but would also significantly reduce services for our Veterans at the VA because many of the professors who were teaching the Health Sciences also treated our Veterans at our VA.\u00a0 Jones also asked what type of ungrateful message this would send to Senator Robert C. Byrd, who had previously obtained $67 million for our VA.\u00a0 Jones\u2019s closing argument firmly linked our Med School with our VA when he said \u201cIf you hurt one, if you damage one, you hurt both.\u201d\u00a0 SCR 47 lost its steam and did not pass\u2026. crisis overcome.<\/p>\n
A few of the other issues in the legislature where Senator Jones worked hard for Marshall are the funding of the Institute of International Trade, Marshall Center for Research and Economic Development, and Marshall\u2019s new football stadium.\u00a0 On the last issue, Tom Craig and Jim Snyder, on behalf of Marshall University, approached Senator Jones in 1987 about sponsoring legislation, by amending the budget, to build a new football stadium to replace old Fairfield Stadium.\u00a0 They had already contacted the leadership in the House of Delegates, who said they were all for it but doubted it could pass the Senate.\u00a0 Senator Jones accepted their challenge and worked tirelessly throughout the session to acquire the votes necessary from his fellow senators to permit the stadium.\u00a0 Regretfully, the House\u2019s Budget Conferees unexpectedly voted it down.\u00a0 Supporters were devastated! The next year, 1988, Gov. Moore fully embraced the idea, as did the House, and the legislation was passed.\u00a0 It still needed the approval of the Board of Regents which Tom Craig, one of its members, skillfully obtained.<\/p>\n
In 1988, Gaston Caperton was running for Governor and Ned was in charge of his campaign in Cabell County.\u00a0 During the general election, Gaston was interviewed by the Charleston Gazette.\u00a0 The Gazette ran a story that Caperton was not in favor of the new stadium, thereby postponing or even unwinding all that had happened.\u00a0 Immediately afterwards, he assured Ned he was misquoted and promised he supported building the new stadium.\u00a0 Ned tried to convince local citizens that Gaston was for the new stadium but he did not have much success.\u00a0 Eventually, Ned decided that if Gaston was going to carry Cabell County, they needed to win on other issues.\u00a0 Dr. Alexander had earlier convinced Ned that Marshall\u2019s College of Business needed funding to gain accreditation.\u00a0 WVU was even running commercials that they were the only accredited business school in the state.\u00a0 Ned convinced Gaston that getting our Business School accredited should be his first promise to our voters.\u00a0 Gaston made the announcement.\u00a0 After addressing a budget crisis (and with a few friendly reminders from Ned), Gaston honored his pledge.<\/p>\n
When Gaston entered office in 1989, he quickly had the opportunity to make good on his promise to Ned that he was for the stadium.\u00a0 Issue: The State\u2019s Auditor told Gaston that he would not sign any checks for the stadium because he believed the legislation was unconstitutional.\u00a0\u00a0 Gaston asked the Auditor whether he would sign the checks if the Attorney General provided him with a written opinion that the legislation was constitutional. The Auditor said he would.\u00a0 Gaston and Ned met with the Attorney General who agreed to give the Auditor the written opinion he needed.\u00a0 Crisis averted.\u00a0 Checks signed.\u00a0 Stadium built.<\/p>\n
In 1994, Ned Jones received The Distinguished West Virginian Award, presented by Governor Caperton.<\/p>\n

While at Travelers he earned the professional designation of Casualty Property Claim Law Associate (C.P.C.L.A.) and Property Claim Law Associate (P.C.L.A.) from the American Educational Institute. This program was specifically designed for the property casualty side of the insurance industry, emphasizing issues focused on the property loss adjustment process. After several promotions and reaching the 10-year vesting\/retirement period, he recognized that sometimes the best interests of the policyholder and the insurance carrier do not always line up.

Charles R.
