It was 45 years ago on 7-14-65 that I saw Gordon in person with his partner Peter when they toured with The Dick Clark Clavacade Of Stars Summer Tour Show 1965. This took place at Salina, Kansas and in Memorial Hall, I won't forget that night ever especeially screamming my heart out at the lads. I yelled out to Gordon & I quote"Marry me Gordon" & I toched his boots with my program. But I shall cherrish the memory of meeting Gordon & him kissing me on my hand in Dallas,Texas 10-28-00, he was a sweet man. RIP my friend Gordon & to The Waller Family & to his friends I know it has been a year but my heart felt smpathys's to you in your loss. God bless you all. Peace Always: Christine V.
