Riverbank resident Edward Jones, known around town as Fast Eddy, explains to the audience at last week’s city council meeting how he came by the name. It came during his truck driving career, after he was discharged from the Army, denoting his expertise in getting around and through traffic. Mayor Rachel Hernandez and the council honored Jones in recognition of his 95th birthday this month. Ric McGinnis/The News
