Robert Yost

Robert Yost was a long-time associate of Condé Nast Publications. In 1968, he left his position as Advertising Director for VOGUE magazine to launch Gordon/Shaw Inc. and Gordon/Shaw Ltd., advertising sales and marketing firms with offices in Miami, Florida; Walpole, New Hampshire; and London, England.

Retiring from London in 1988, Bob moved with his family to rural New Hampshire. There he began writing what eventually became a wide-ranging family history, spanning the years 1634 to 1968. The manuscript was later divided into four segments, one being LATE TO THE PARTY IN THE ROARING ‘20s. The three remaining parts are soon to be published on Kindle:

- FROM PROPER TO PIZZAZZ: Seeing VOGUE Sail into the Madcap Sixties

- CIRCLE THREE TIMES AND LAND IN CHIHKIANG: Worn Torn China – 1940s

- GIFT OF GENERATIONS: The Shaws of Yorkshire, Massachusetts, and Maine

A lineage defined by the world around them, beginning with the patriarch, Abraham Shaw
