I started working for Guss in a gold mine when I moved to Nevada. He was a very kind, honest and understanding boss, and I learned a lot from him, as a mechanic, a teacher and as a leader. We became good friends and he actually ended up working for me for a while. We worked together up until we both retired from mining. He had a very positive influence on me and my career in that business. I missed him when he retired, and I miss him still. I am still very proud to call him my friend.
