Jerilyn Zust (Lakewood, OH) The past fifty years have been happy ones filled with world travel and rewarding careers in banking, special event coordination, and early retirement from NASD (nka FINRA).

An exciting discovery in my travels was learning Paris Hilton and I have something in common—a hotel bearing our surname.  In tracing my genealogy, I stumbled upon charming Hotel Zust on the shore of Lago Maggiore in the Italian Lake region.  It was a genuine thrill to enjoy a stay at “my” hotel.

My ancestral search was fruitful and, on subsequent trips to Slovenia to meet with relatives, I learned our family tree has been traced back to 1583.

Was it really so long ago that we shared our teen years at BHS?  Looking forward to the Reunion and renewing friendships.
