PS:
A funny/good memory of mine. I remember when Gordon had everyone over for a extended family gathering. He asked me if I wanted to ride one if the horses. I said sure. He explained the horse responds backards to me.We went trotting through the field. All the sudden the horse took off like lightning. He refused to stop. We were headed right at fence. Then all sudden horse stopped less than a foot from fence. Thankfully it wasnt able to throw me. Gordon asked me how ride went. I said that horse is crazy it tried kill me! Gordon just laughed.... I'll remember that the rest of my life .
