He was drafted into the Army where he served in Germany during the Korean Conflict, then came to Oakland, California where he met Barbara Van Slyke on a blind date. He and Barbara were married on December 15, 1955. He convinced Barbara to move back to Texas so he could finish his education at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas.

In August of 1963, Jerry accepted a teaching position at Calaveras High School and moved the family to Angels Camp.
