Ganshirt family, your have my deepest sympathy. I am a graduate of Central High School and worked in the office. My dad was a school bus driver and we both had a deep respect for Mr. Ganshirt. My favorite memory is when we girls had to report to the office and kneel of the floor, because it was reported out skirts were too short! He was a great guy and fun to work for.
