G H  BOST
Station agent seniority date of 3/27/53, emp#01032, on the 1/1/86 FL/ALEA seniority list.
Looks like he lost seniority being in management.
I cannot find him in the 1970-83 FL phone directories.

Was Gordie from Michigan?

Well, Don Anderton wasn't much help.  
He did say that Bost had been manager in Billings before coming to SLC.  
Other than that we seem to be at an end.

Hi Paul,
I found Gordon's birthday on a roster that Cal Reese sent me.
That enabled me to confirm his death at the SSDI:

I'll start working on his webpage.
Send me any remembrances you have.
