Biographie de Gerrard D. Schuster

Gerrard Dietrich Schuster was born in 1937 in Danzig (Gdansk in Poland), where his father lost his factory after WW II. After surviving by a hair's breadth the sinking of the "Wilhelm Gustloff", the worst ship-disaster in maritime history (9.000 drowned), the family emigrated to Canada in 1949. The author gained his first writing experience as Editor of the High School yearbook. Not satisfied with "the crumbs" left by sports heroes at both Highschool and college.
At age 24 he returned to Europe (though not without surviving a flip over car-accident as passenger in a friend's car), there finding the love of his life. After a career with U. S. firms in France and Belgium, the now trilingual couple chose the high-risk option of starting their own import/export business in the sanitary industry, based first in Oldenburg, later in Berlin, where their children began their careers.
With Paris the best market for their Designer-products and a successor fluent in French just not materializing, the couple closed Benesan GmbH in 2019, and the author began a second career in writing. Planned for publication in 2022: "How a Global Player from India evolved into my Butler" - Bizarre encounters during 60 foreign business trips.
