Note from webmaster: Most people probably will not look at the information on this page as history. However, Mr. Simons was such an interesting person that it seemed reasonable to collect information while it was fresh in the minds of those who knew him, and save it here. After all, it will be history one day.

A digital recording was made by the webmaster of the story of John Simons as told by Wilbur Jacobs in December of 2007. To hear the rather interesting story click here.
