He was a fine athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball during those early years. He attended LSU and McNeese University on a football scholarship. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Agriculture. After graduation, he fulfilled his ROTC commitment for a period of two years active duty in Company L, Infantry Regiment as a 1st Lieutenant. During this time he married

In 1952, Jerry’s dad purchased 291 acres on the outskirts of Livingston, Texas. The idea was to raise cattle. Later, when the Livingston Lake and dam were built, much of that land became waterfront property and in 1969, Jerry’s entrepreneurial efforts produced what is now known as “Pinwah Pines Subdivision, ” a lovely place of rolling scenic terrain, with beautiful lake views, that is prosperous and still growing today. The highest point of elevation on the lake is located in Pinwah Pines. During these years, Jerry was the Administrator of the Polk County Environmental Services until his retirement in 1990.
