Gordon LeAllen Wickland is a Swede from Minnessota. His grandfather's 2500 acre farm bordered Canada.
He's the middle child of 15 and comes from a town of 2500, two thousand of which are relatives.
Cheryl characterized him as 77 going on 15....and a *young* 15. She said he once pulled out a gun in the huge, extravaganza flea market Sumpter is famous for, and fired off several shots...just to liven things up a bit. He's one of the funniest people I've ever met.
His right leg was crushed when he was standing in front of a truck and the guy accidentally put it in drive. Gordon was standing in front of a telephone pole and the bumper hit him just above the knee. The miracle of modern medicine enables him to walk but three years post event it still hurts.
I left my Zadrozny Sound-healing wands (that cured my sciatica) with Dennis to see if they'd help his back and encouraged Gordon to try them too.
Sounds like you are having a good time and meeting interesting people.
