After he passed the CPA exam (around 1950?), he started his own accounting business. I believe one of his early clients was KACB Radio, which also had their office in the same building. Another was the San Antonio Country Club, which was managed by Klaus Andersen. Klaus and his wife became good friends with John and Bernice.
A San Antonio builder, Lloyd Denton, was involved with John's business, either as an investor or as a partner.
Around this time, John served as Treasurer of Grace Presbyterian Church in northwest San Antonio. I think Bernice served as organist.
