thing about living so long is that so
few people remember you. I worked
for Gordon at KSRV from 1958-61 He was
a good man to work for because he knew
his business and was fair. Gordon is the
reason that KSRV quickly became a real
part of Ontario and helped it grow faster than many other towns. He always looked
like a gentleman and was true to his word. A good guy, period. "
