One of the great adventures of our lives was visiting Gordon and Jo Ellen Miller back in the early 2000's. Revisitig the old stomping grounds, and telling stories of youth at North High School, and laughing about some of the things young people will do back then. We will always cherish those visits, one of the bes things we ever did.

My husband lived behind Gordon in Columbus, back in the 40's, we visited them yearly, up until 2009, when health prevented us from traveling. Gordon was a real gentleman, one of a kind, and honest to the bone. Cordial and friendly all the time, to those who were around him. We are losing lots of friends these past few years, but Gordon was made of gold, thru and thru. We will truly miss him, and remember his kind spirit.
