Per my business writing instructor (yeah my job brought in an expert to give us a 3-week--is that even correct usage--seminar on business writing,) it is now proper to start a sentence with And or But. The reason is shorter sentences are easier to read in business communications and more emphatic.
To The Truth, I was also taught Mr. Jones's in the sentence you described.
Along those lines do you all say Founders Day, Founder's Day, or Founders' Day. In Delta we use Founders Day because it is considered descriptive rather than possessive.
The University of MN just went through a big discussion about this regarding a Scholars Walkway they were constucting. The final decision was no apostophe, but boy did those academians go back and forth.
