John E. Jones III (1983: Doomsday)

John Edward Jones III (born June 13, 1955) is an American lawyer and politician, and is the current governor of the Provisional Government of Pennsylvania at Reading.

Pre-Doomsday
Jones was born in 1955 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania and raised in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, where he attended Blue Mountain High School. He graduated high school from Mercersburg Academy. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Dickinson College in 1977 and law degreefrom Dickinson School of Law in 1980. At that time, the school was unaffiliated with Pennsylvania State University.

After clerking for Guy A. Bowe, the president-county judge for Schuylkill County from 1980 to 1983, Jones joined the law firm of Dolbin & Cori. When he was made a partner, the name of the firm was changed to Dolbin, Cori & Jones.

Doomsday
Jones was in his home when the first alarms of Doomsday rang through the county. He made his way to a fallout shelter, where he felt the Soviet nukes detonate in Harrisburg and Philadelphia. After waiting for days in the dark shelter, he and fellow survivors walked into a very different world, one where nuclear war had just occurred.

In the general post-Doomsday chaos, he helped guide the refugees from the nuked cities to the refugee areas of the surviving cities and joined the provisional government in Reading soon after.
