CollectionCharlice Lin Collection of PhotosDate2017-07-28DescriptionBorn in West Hollywood, California, Jay moved to Manhattan Beach when he was young then eventually settled in Long Beach. Being the middle child, he has a brother who’s four years older and a sister who’s ten years younger. His first job out of school was with North American Aviation in which he worked as a Draftsman and eventually worked his way up to become an Engineer. After a ten-year marriage to a woman who became an alcoholic, he left with his beautiful daughter who supports him everyday.

Though Jay had always been a bit of an introvert, he joined the Singles Club after his divorce. Eventually he met a woman who introduced him to the Unitarian Universalist Church that was not a traditional church that preached dogmas. It was a family in which he felt welcomed and accepted, and he has been with the church ever since. Jay also loves to collect vintage Kodak cameras and has written a manual on different types of Kodak Vest Pocket Cameras called Vest Pocket Kodak Camera, 1912 – 1935, a Guide. Location: Seal Beach, CA.

Jay’s message for the world:
“Savor love over hate. Remove hate as much as you can because it doesn’t produce anything and it doesn’t help. Be happy as much as you can.”Held ByPalos Verdes Library District.
