Gordon was Most Loyal Grand Gander in 1976 at the Hartford, CT convention, and he also served as Grand Nest Historian, and attended at total of 41 conventions. He was dedicated to many different charitable organizations, including Blue Goose. If there was work to be done, or people to help, or ideals to pursue, Gordon was there. Not only to help, but to organize and lead. People naturally gravitated to him, he had a wonderful engaging personality and he had a special knack for making everyone feel important.” Excerpts from Hartford Ponderings, December 1999.
