A soldier's holiday remembered – Continued

[December 02, 2014]  LINCOLN - Bill Gossett took over running Gossett’s Family Cleaners. He met and married a popular local gal, Jean. Anyone that was ever involved in Lincoln’s Community Theatre, knows Jean. Together the couple raised a family, ran the cleaners and in the early 1960’s added a highly respected decorating business.

But, that Christmas behind the front was never forgotten.

Fifty years later, Bill returned to Paris and with the extraordinary help of a French tourism director, found the French girls. In credit to the individual of the French Bureau of Tourism in Paris, Gossett, per old saying says, "It's the difference that makes the difference."

The Soche Sisters reunion

Everyone and their spouses, the Soche sisters now married also, met and reunited over dinner.

While having celebrated his 91st Birthday a few weeks ago, this multitalented, WWII communications expert remains masterful in communication. Bill Gossett is savvy on all forms of modern technologies and utilizes multiple most-up-to-date social and business media formats in his communications. He is more expedient at messaging than most of today’s population. If you are on his list, you might get an email from him from the bleachers of a basketball, or from any other place he happens to be at the moment.

Bill is also well-known for his verbal repartee’ as proven each week when he and Judy Busby hit the airwaves hosting a wide variety of guests on a weekly morning radio program. For years, the co-hosts have entertainingly brought matters of interest about, and to our community through Viewpoint, live at 8:15 a.m. Wednesdays, and replayed 9 a.m. Sundays on WLCN FM 96.3, Atlanta.

Mr. Gossett remains active in community groups and is a contributing member emeritus of the Lincoln College Board of Trustees.

Bill and Jean Gossett are the proud parents of two sons, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
