There, he served on two destroyers and then on a frigate that was based in Hong Kong toward the end of the Korean hostilities. Subsequently, he worked for Otis Elevator in London and, after four years, was sent to Puerto Rico, where he visited every island in the Caribbean that had at least one elevator. He also worked in Venezuela and Ecuador. Seeking bigger challenges, he then moved to New York City, where he worked for three different companies before establishing his own business. Mr. Jones feels that his biggest strength is in writing novellas. Looking forward, he would like to find a publisher for them. AUTHOR, SCULPTOR Westwood, NJ ROY GARDE JONES
