Interview with Glen Jones : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Glen Jones (AB Economics, 1976), also known as Bongo Bob, takes us from his roots moving around the US while his father was in the navy to Vallejo High School and then Stanford. But he was hardly the first to attend: two twin brothers in his family graduated in 1891, as did his grandmother, mother and eventually, daughter. His freshman year in Loro at Florence Moore was followed by three at the Alpha Delta House (later renamed the Enchanted Broccoli Forest) and known as the “drug fraternity.” It was there that Jones learned about supply and demand firsthand, starting a marijuana business out of his dorm room that also served as the focus of his honor’s thesis. Other Stanford highlights include being a member of the Stanford Marching Unit Thinkers (“SMUT”) division of the Marching Band tasked with edgy half-time programming, experimenting with hallucinogens and Buddhism, riding his motorcycle inside the dorm, and his recent embrace of the Christian faith.
