Billy Gussak died in 1994.
it means white person
In "Julie of the Wolves," Gussak is a term used by Julie's people, the Eskimos, to refer to white people or outsiders. They are seen as different from the native Eskimo community and are sometimes not trusted or understood by Julie and her people.
The main theme in this story for me is that there is a need for balance in nature in order for us to survive. When Jello takes from Julie the pack kills him, because it would disturb the balance of what is needed. The story teaches us against gluttony. She angry of the idea people killing just for money and not of need. She also doesn't understand the need for certain accommodations that the gussaks use. It is also about her pride in being an Eskimo and not wanting to change or conform to gussak ways. It also goes deeper into the love one has of family and what it means to be a family. Finally, it is ok not to accept things you feel are wrong and to fight for what you believe is right.
When the Saddlemen changed their name to The Comets in the fall of 1952, its members were: Marshall Lytle (bass), Johnny Grande (piano) and Billy Williamson (steel guitar), as well as Haley. Drummer Charlie Higler joined soon after. When the group recorded Rock Around the Clock in April 1954, its members were Lytle, Grande, Williamson, Dick Richards (drums) and Joey Ambrose (sax). The group did not actually have a full-time guitarist until 1955. Danny Cedrone, who played the Rock Around the Clock guitar solo, and Billy Gussak, who played drums on the record instead of Richards, were session musicians. Lytle, Grande, Richards and Ambrose reunited as the Original Comets in the late 1980s and continued to perform into the late 2000s; Grande died in 2006, and Lytle left the Comets in 2009. Richards and Ambrose continue to perform as the Original Comets (with new members, of course) as of summer 2010. Two other bands claim to be "the originals" but none can claim members dating back earlier than 1959.
