Robert Graham Jones was born 2/22/73 in San Jose, California. He was raised by Pearl, a single mom. Pearl had been left widowed when her husband, Ralph Elmo Jones, was cleaning the gutters on their house and fell off the ladder. He hit the ground and bounced through the basement window. His body came to a stop with his head resting on a foot pedal of a cast-iron Singer Sewing Machine.
Pearl nicknamed her son Bobbie to avoid people confusing him with her older, well-known second cousin, Dr. Robert Graham. Graham had made a fortune manufacturing plastic eyeglasses and spent most of his money starting and running the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank.

Graham believed the human race was getting dumber over time and that the only way to stop this decline was to have Nobel Prize winners and men with an IQ of 180 donate to the sperm bank.
Charles Lindbergh was also a believer in eugenics and wanted to populate the world with superior children. He had done so in the 1960s when he had fathered four children, three by two sisters and another by a woman living in Germany. Lindberg had also contributed to the Sperm Bank.

Pearl wasn’t able to conceive a child. She went to her brother’s sperm bank and asked for help. Nine months later, Bobbie was born.
When Bobbie was 14 years old, he asked his mom, “Who’s my father?”
Pearl’s answer was always the same, “He’s a genius.”
When Bobbie learned one of the donors to the Genius Sperm Bank was Charles Lindbergh, he became convinced that Lindbergh was his father. He thought to himself: “Look at Lindbergh’s nose, I have the Lindbergh nose!”
Pearl’s younger brother was Tim LaHaye, an evangelical Christian minister who wrote the book Left Behind. LaHaye’s book predicted the Rapture—the second coming of Jesus Christ. It sold over 70 million copies, more than Stephen King and John Grisham’s books combined.
LaHaye was featured on the cover of Newsweek magazine and made over 100 TV appearances. He was often a guest on the show Hardball with Chris Matthews. His message was: “Jesus Christ is coming.” He was on the Board of Directors of the Moral Majority, and his closest friends were Oliver North and Joseph Coors. Tim often said he was instrumental in helping George Bush get elected to his second term as president of the United States. LaHaye sponsored a NASCAR car and named it “Left Behind.” It ran the racing circuit for two years and was often left behind. Many evangelicals prayed for LaHaye’s car, but Jesus wasn’t interested in winning car races. Winning really didn’t matter to LaHaye. He wrote off the NASCAR car as an advertising expense.
