Arlin's Story
Life
After Roosevelt I became an apprentice in a linotype shop which prompted an interest in Typography and Graphic Arts. In May of 1953 I entered the US Army Corps of Engineers,for 2 years. I did a 17 month tour in Korea as a cook with the 185th Combat Engineers and returned home in May of 1955 as a Sgt.
I attended NYC Community College in Brooklyn, and majored in Advertising Production Management (Graphic Arts.) After graduation and several positions at small advertising agencies, I landed a Production Manager's position at Wunderman, Ricotta and Kline, a major AAAA advertising agency.
While living and working in Manhattan, I met and very quickly I married a very special girl, Jean Ellis, and enjoyed 42 years of storybook romance and marriage with her until Leukemia claimed her in Sept. of 2004. A 4 year old daughter, Bettina, came along with our marriage and Jean and I had a son, Ian, a year later. We eventually moved to Haverstraw, New York where the entrepreneurial bug hit me.

rd and gift shop and sold it 5 years later. Then I started what grew to be the largest ambulance service in New York State (outside of NY City) which I ran until I lost it in a hostile takeover 6 years later. Both Jean and I then became Realtors and spent 13 years with Century 21 and Prudential in New City, NY, specializing in corporate relocation.
We retired to Florida and had a house built in 1992 in suburban Palm Beach County. Not used to inactivity I rejoined the workforce and worked for GTECH Corp in Boca Raton in Security and Facilities Management in 1994 and retired again in 2006.
My wife Jean was British and we spent many vacations in England. The last trip that we were supposed to make together was to Tuscany,Italy, but her illness prevented it. I did that trip in 2005 with Elderhostel on what would have been our 43rd anniversary.
My daughter Bettina now resides in Vermont with her husband Gordon and my Grandson Jamie. My son Ian and my Granddaughter Jensine live in Sunrise Florida.
