As a young boy, the Jones brothers and some of the other neighborhood children would walk down to a place known in Jacksonville as McCoy’s Creek, on the west side of town. There, he and some of his friends would watch the Manatees feed on the plant life.
Sometimes, in the winter months, Warren and some of the other children would go to the creek and watch the “Sea Cows” blow what looked like steam shooting up from their nose. Seeing that kind of thing happening was so exciting to him, as a child. Sometimes he would stay there for what seemed like hours, watching their feeding antics. Jones was totally fascinated by the sight of these manatees, and has never forgotten those wonderful childhood experiences at McCoy’s Creek.
Eventually he and his family moved away from that part of town. But even as a young adult he often thought about what it might have been like if those manatees could have just gotten up out of the water and started walking around and talking and doing all types of heroic and amazing things in and out of the water. And that is how “The Manatee Warriors: Defenders of Planet Moonark” came about.
Jones started inventing things and writing songs and stories right after he retired from the City of Jacksonville, after twenty years of being a heavy equipment operator. He has invented a group of products and written fifty-nine other stories and twelve songs to date. He is C.E.O. and founder of a company called, Nat & Val, Inc. named after his three kids, Natalie N. Jones the President, Valerie D. Strickland Vice President and Warren L. Jones Jr. Chairman, in the city of Jacksonville. Sometimes, when he’s out speaking in public, people often ask him about the word, “Moonark.” He usually tells them that the word came about because of how he thinks about certain things.“Moonark is just my concoction of two words, ‘Moon’ and ‘Ark’”, he says. “We know, from what we see, and from science, that the Moon is a planet and place in our part of the galaxy… we can actually see it with our own two eyes. Some people call it a dead planet, maybe it is, maybe not… I don’t know for sure, without getting all technical,” he says. “But we know that the Moon has a very powerful effect on the planet Earth’s oceans and animals, and it even affects some people, at certain times of the year in some very interesting ways. But enough of that, I’m not a scientist, so I’ll just leave it at that. Anyway, the word, “Ark” can mean a type of water vehicle, like in the Bible.”vizualizați mai puține
