"The Shuster Shoe Store was always a mainstay of downtown Fremont, with a great reputation that will always be missed as part of "little town" Nebraska, by those of us who remember it so well. Always a friendly greeting with a family atmosphere and dependable service. Seeing that she worked at Campbell Soup had to be a challenge, as I fully understand the tough conditions in which they worked... ( My mother-in-law also worked there, Florence Osterberg) ....beside raising her family. She raised her son Ken to be an outstanding man with all the fine credits from his parents and their lifestyle. She will always be remembered IN THEM, and missed by friends and family.I'm sorry I didn't know her better, but know the family she raised is a credit to her memory."
