His Father Frank Shooster 1893-1950
Stephen Shooster - My father always chose his words carefully, keeping them simple enough to be clearly understood. I recall him making statements and then taking a long pause to make sure they sunk in. When I reiterated what he meant, his ideas would frequently get misconstrued. When this happened, he took the time to say them again, perhaps in a different way. He always main- tained a goal or a vision in mind of how he wanted things to be. Those thoughts are very hard to share. He had lots of patience.
I never understood how he would point to an old photo of his father and say, “Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him.” I chal- lenged him snidely. He said, “One day you will understand.” That day is today and every day in my future.
