“Thank you for my life.”
That was the first line Baynon Jones wrote on the sheet of paper as he remembered the Thursday afternoon when he almost died.
It was a simple thank-you letter for the quick action of those around him when he was found unconscious in his living room.
But it was his great-grandson Trey Winstead who brought him back with CPR during those hectic 10 minutes.
Earlier, Jones was taking advantage of the weather that afternoon. There were a few projects in the yard that needed his attention. His wife, Nita, was inside their house. Trey, his 13-year-old great grandson, was playing inside his room.
Some mischievous youngsters had vandalized his mailbox, and Jones was determined to get it looking back to normal.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
