gerald bosacker

Originally destined to become a crusading journalist or witty editorialist, Bosacker was forced by family responsibility to abandon his part-time jobs and night school classes at the University of Minnesota, to work as a printer. There, his love of the well chosen words, enabled him to become a successful graphic arts salesman who migrated upward, propelled by serendipity coupled with his tolerance and love of faulted people, to become Senior Vice President of Sales in a large international chemical company. Promoted much beyond his ambition and capability, Bosacker jumped to early retirement, first chance. Now living among his aging peers in a Florida retirement community winters and his fishing shack on Whitefish Lake by Glacier Park summers, he has resumed his first love , weaving words into prize winning poetry and surprising tales that borrow heavily from the fascinating people he met in his world-wide travels.
