DESCRIPTION/STATEMENT:

After obtaining his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Texas Tech, Jerry Preston spent 14 years as a Field Director in the America Red Cross, including tours in Viet Nam, Thailand, the Philippines, and finally ending up in the early 1970s at Patrick Air Force base on the Space Coast in Florida. There he met what was to become his partner John Emery, and ran into a Al Beck in Palm Beach (after a Red Cross fundraiser), who taught him the very basics of glass cutting.
