"DOC" Jones and Charlie started OMC's race team, called Jones Engines in the beginning.
I thought Edgar might know something, but he didn't.
I don't think Fred Hauenstein will know anything either, but he just getting back to Wisconsin.

Hi- a Bob Zipps is asking about C.W. "Doc” Jones - wants to know what his real name was.
"What I am trying to find out, is what the initials of C. W. "Doc" Jones of Phoenix, Arizona stand for???? Or what at the very least, what is his first name????
"Doc" Jones was an Evinrude Distributor for the Mountain States Region, and he owned the boat that Gerry Walin set the World Speed Record for outboards back in the 1970s using an Evinrude Outboard Motor. Everyone that was associated with setting the record, whose name I could find, has since passed away.
"Doc" Jones was formerly a Distributor for the Kiekhaefer Corporation, maker of Mercury Outboard Motors. "Doc" Jones switched from being a Mercury Distributor to an Evinrude Distributor in the mid-1950s.
Anybody heard of him or know where to look?
Thank you.
Tana
