Autorenporträt
Jerry Hall was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Upon graduation from North Dakota State University, he served for seven years in the United States Air Force. As a combat pilot, he flew more than 350 missions in Viet Nam, receiving numerous awards and decorations. After receiving an honorable discharge, he purchased a farm in upstate New York and lived there until 1978, when he returned to his native home with his family and founded an advertising and publishing company. In 2011, Hall contracted Stage IV lung cancer that was directly attributed to his exposure to Agent Orange in the war. He died on August 25, 2015.
