Our class of '56 is gradually fading away. Gordy and I both entered Kindergarten at Lincoln School in the fall of 1943. There were times when I went to Gordy's home. The first time I ever slept outdoors in a sleeping bag was in his backyard.  We knew each other until our high school graduation. His family has my sympathy. Larry McHargue

Gordon was a close friend--since graduation in 1956 I saw him often over many years at Lido Is. when I was back from university, or on leave from active duty, and during the two years I was living in Los Angeles.  Always a quick laugh or two at memories of various adventures with other classmates.  Lotta neckties, suits, sport coats, still in my closet some place with the Atkinsons label.  I think of him every time I grab a tie for one occasion (infrequent) or another.
