Gordon Wickstrom

Gordon was my favorite and most impressive professor at Franklin & Marshall College, where I attended from '70-'74. His knowledge, passion, and even performing skills were extraordinary. And he directed some wonderful plays there as well.

Yesterday I got the announcement of Fluid Movement's 2017 water ballet production: SHARKSPEARE. Here in wonderful, wacky Baltimore City, Maryland, Fluid Movement is a performance art group which delights the locals every late winter with a "roller ballet" and every summer with water ballet performances in two of the city's public pools. They have sign-ups, but not auditions...anyone willing to don a swimsuit, assigned costume, lots of glitter, and faithfully attend rehearsals is IN! I was a...

His two books on Fly Fishing : Notes from an Old FLY BOOK and Late in an Angler's Life are two of my favorite books. I read them both once a year. We sent a few hand written notes to each other he was a very generous man. I just found out today April 18, 2017 that he had graduated.
