When the war ended, the family moved to Los Angeles where Jerome's father got a job running a printing press. He worked as a pressman for the next thirty years. Jerome received twelve years of Catholic education in Los Angeles. Upon graduation from Cathedral High School in June, 1959, he attended the American Barber College in downtown Los Angeles. After he got his California barber license in May, 1960, he went on active duty at Los Alamitos Naval Air Station. With two years remaining on his three year Navy hitch, he moved back to nearby Long Beach and lived there for eight years. During that time Jerome cut hair part-time in a barber shop in Belmont Shore and attended Long Beach City College and Long Beach State University full-time. After he received a master of arts degree from State in 1969, he and his wife, Janet, moved to Santa Cruz, California where he has been cutting hair in his own shop since 1975. |
