PRESIDENT L’Antiquaire and the Connoisseur Incorporated New York, NY HELEN COSTANTINO FIORATTI A prolific author and sculptor, Roy Garde Jones of Westwood, New Jersey, retired from his job as president of Garde Associates, which specialized in control modifications for elevators. He is now invested fully into writing and sculpting in mixed media. Writing under the penname Roy Garde, he has published five novels and has written 23 novellas and over 120 short stories. All his work can be found at www.roygarde.com. Mr. Jones was born in a small village in South Wales and worked in a coal mine for two years before joining the British Navy. 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
