It also started sponsoring sports events, including marathons and numerous charity races throughout the country.
Jess himself took up running in 1972, and since then his life has been a testimonial to the sport. It replaced a drinking problem and resulted in a complete turnabout for the executive. He was reunited with his family and his business again prospered. Currently, at 64, Jess runs 30 to 50 miles a week.
