I am just seeing this, many months after Gordon's passing. Gordon was a wonderful president of Wheelock. I served as an admissions counselor for three years, then as director of financial aid. Gordon had faith that this 24 year old could handle that responsibility. I am so sorry for your loss of this generous and kind man.

I have the fondest of memories of Gordon and send my sympathy to his children. He took a chance and hired me as Dean of Admissions in 1979. I had no admissions experience but he had faith that I could do the job. Gordon often stopped in my office to chat. I remained at Wheelock for 19 years.

Gordon was a tremendous support to me when I became President of Wheelock College several years ago. He invited me to his home to discuss his perspective on small colleges and gave me suggestions on how to move the College forward. He loved Wheelock and continued to support the College for many years after he had left. My colleagues and I are deeply grateful for his kindness and support.
