The Unusual Class of '55: This Book Will Never Be Required Reading (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781478723080)

Gypsy Jostes was born at a very early age. He was an outstanding student generally out standing in the hallway... (Enough with the old jokes) Gypsy graduated from the Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Missouri. And he started his forty-three-year career with the Otis Elevator Company, working from jobs on high steel to the supervision level. He never lost the lesson he learned while in High School: Have fun and enjoy life. The highlight of his working years was the three years he lived and worked in Shanghai, China, helping to start a new company. He courted his future wife (Anne) by flying his airplane each weekend to Columbia, Missouri, where she lived. They were married after about three dates and have been married fifty-three years and counting. They have four children: Bud, Randall, HollyLu and Chris, and nine grandchildren. Gypsy has been published in two short stories: "In Quest of It" in the BIG MUDDY, a Journal of the Mississippi River Valley, and "Goose Wars" in the Farm & Ranch Living magazine.
