After retiring from the Air Force in in 1989, Jerry spent the next year working as a deputy sheriff, but he grew tired of getting shot at for $5.00 an hour. So, he and Sue moved to Seattle, Washington where he attended ITT Tech for two years while working nights as a security guard.

In 1993, Jerry and Sue moved to Texas and he has been here ever since.
