Hi Listers, After much thought and in the interests of genealogy pertaining to the lister researching YOST I have decided to post this article to the site. I hope that it helps someone with their research. Kim FERNDALE, Pa. (Jan. 7) - A western Pennsylvania man is trying to solve a mystery that recently landed in his mailbox: a letter mailed more than 50 years ago and addressed to a Frederick Zane Yost. The letter, with a 3-cent stamp and postmarked Oct. 26, 1954, was encased in a large Postal Service window envelope. There is a return address -- in nearby Richland Township -- but no sender's name. Brian McAteer said that the letter appears to be sealed and has not been damaged, and that he will not open it. However, he hasn't had any luck finding Yost. Among his efforts have been to contact Yosts in the area, speak with longtime residents and search on the Internet. "I haven't given up trying to find him," McAteer, a road foreman, told the Tribune-_Democrat_ (javascript:;) of Johnstown. The newspaper reported that its archives show Yost's parents, both of whom are dead, lived in Ferndale in 1954. His father was a sports editor at the newspaper, which reported that the younger Yost had moved to Florida.

I have posted this to the YOST email list, maybe someone can help there.
