2002 President Thomas Gordon

My interest in geology started as a child. Having been born is Missouri in 1947, and going all over the west growing up, as my father worked as a logger, carpenter, and heavy equipment operator, I saw many different land formations. My parents always made sure we visited the local parks and monuments as we traveled and went on vacation.

Working as a printer, I also got a degree in English from Portland State University, and took several courses in geology along the way. These courses helped me to research, plan, and lead my President's field trip for the Geological Society to Mammoth Lakes, Mono Lake, and Yosemite.

I continue to be interested in geology, never having found a "leverite" yet-(leave that rock where you found it).
