Gayle Wurst

Personal Note: "I have worked with Gayle on several projects. She has been invaluable to Our History Project in providing sources for us to do what we do. The reason I work with her: I will say without hesitation and with sincerity that the books she has been apart of as an editor have been remarkable. She understands what it takes to put that personal touch to the reader and most importantly she understands that history is meant to be felt, shared and enjoyed. If you find something with her name attached to it get it. It will be worth the read."

In 2004, she co-authored Descending from the Clouds with her uncle, Col. Spencer F. Wurst. The book was a main selection of the Military Book Club, and received a starred review in Library Journal, which “highly recommended” the title, stating: “Wurst’s book ranks as one of the best war memoirs written by a World War II veteran.”
