Glenn,
I remember those press trucks as well...amongst the best of all time (although our Simeon Kigen ride at '84 SF Marathon was something else!)...yes, Jones was utterly amazing...

My favorite two Jones quotes are from after the 2005 Chicago race, where he missed Lopes' WR by one second. (There was a $50,000 WR bonus.)
REPORTER: "What did you think when you saw the time of 1:01:43 at halfway?
JONES: "I thought, 'Run another one.'"
DIFFERENT REPORTER: "How does it feel to arrive one second late to collect fifty thousand dollars?"
JONES: "Got a bit of money for winning, didn't I?"
