My dad has retired to the warmth of Arizona like many other retirees. Our fathers both enjoy Lionel trains and I always love to see your father's collection and layouts. My first car was a 68 Pontiac Firebird and I love the classic Firebird emblem. I wish I had one in my garage now! Stu is one heck of a guy, I've known him most of my 47 years and he is very respected. Good luck to him in his retirement and future!

I hope your dad is handling the transition well. He has so much to offer the world at large that I'm almost happy they've set him free. Please pass on my best. P. Jay, I figured this was coming.

Great to hear from you. And Sangwon thanks for your comment. How was it interviewing with the senior Shuster? Would the conversation suddenly veer to the virtues of air-cooled, rear-engined 'Z' Bodies? Right on Mike! Great to hear from you.

While my Pops hung up his GM sketchbook in 97', Stu continued to "rock on". I know for sure that my father has the deepest respect for Stu as a designer and individual. He thoroughly enjoyed the time they worked side by side. Great tribute Jay! Jay and I have a great connection, our fathers worked at the General together for many years!

I first saw your sketches at JCI at beginning of my automotive career in the about 10 years ago. I think you interned or worked there in Holland, Michigan prior to my JCI days. (I am now with Nissan)... and I just realized after seeing your Dad's photo that I've been interviewed by him at GM a few years ago before I joined Nissan. I, then, didn't realize that he was the father of "Shuster" whom I only knew by the signature of your sketches....what a small world ! If I only knew then, I would have told your Dad how much I loved the work of "Shuster" :) Best of luck to you and your respected dad~ ! just came across your blog thru Totoroforest website...

These fine talented folks have put in more than their fair share of hard work to raise families in this area. I tip my old English D ball cap to these hardworking folks.
