Jack is retired from the Air Force after 20+ years and started a new career in advertising. He began in advertising sales with Play Ground Daily News in Ft. Walton Beach, FL in 1973. Then in 1979 transferred to a weekly paper in Newark, NY, as the editor/manager. After about a year he then moved to Panama City News Herald as the Classified Ad Manager. He retired from there in the early 90’s. He finally found his “dream job” working at golf courses, namely Hombre and Holiday Golf in Panama City Beach, FL. After moving to Pensacola he worked at A.C.
