Gordon was a breath of new and charismatic air when he arrived at Roan - and for so many he was held in huge esteem for his humour, world view and ability to make each one of us feel things were possible. I have always treasured being taught by and knowing him. So glad that I got to see him Norfolk last year to talk about old Roan times and to hear how he enjoyed his days there. In his first economics lesson he told us about Bretton Woods and the Gold Standard. Never mind Bretton Woods, Gordon was always Gold Standard. xxxx
