Gordon's Story
After graduation, I worked at Meier and Franks while attending Multnomah Business College and then Portland State. In 1961, I married Beverly Holt, a graduate from Lake Oswego High School. We met at Meier and Frank.
We built a home on NE 148th St, but
moved in 1969 to Woodinville because
of a new job at the Seattle newpaper.
I retired from the Seattle Times in 2000.
In the meantime Bev and I raised 3
kids and now have 3 grandkids with one more due in Jan 2010.
Be...Expand for more
v retired in 1999 from Sears due to
ovarian cancer...and is now cancer free.
Music was my favorite DDHS activity when I played trombone, (I started with Miss Baker at Gilbert Grade--now Alice Ott Middle) piano, and sang in the choir. I really enjoyed playing boogie woogie with the jazz
ocmbo...and do you remember the 112 wpm typing record I set on 1 minute writes. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
I guess it's embedded!!!! LOL
