Since today, November 11th, is Remembrance Day we wear poppies, here in Canada, and gather at cenotaphs, in town parks, like in the US, to remember those brave and courageous men who gave the untimate sacrifice of life, in wars. Poppies grew between the rows of graves in the cemeteries and as kids in school, we learned the famous poem "In Flanders Fields" ...the poppies grow between the crosses, row on row I have a special observation of thanks that involves the name GORDON. The name GORDON is not a name of popularity or tradition in PACE families, as many of you have probably wondered. In my case, the GORDON (Christian name) came from the Scottish surname of a nurse GORDON who was attending my mother the night I was born when, she told me, the hospital in Birmingham, England was bombed during an air raid in June 1940. Somehow we survived and I was named GORDON, in respect of the nurse. This carries on, in life and being Remerberance Day, may be appropriate to mention, today. This is a fortunate thing. I can collect beautiful articles of the GORDON name, associated with this Scottish surname, tea cups, coffee mugs, the tartan, the Gordon beer stein, etc. Also, I'd like to thank the many folks that have written to me since I mentioned there were two GORDON PACES. Gordon W. Pace runs this Rootsweb.com mailing list and lives in Portland, Oregon. At Kansas City, I asked Larry Pace, our Society membership person, if he saw any confusion about two Gordon Paces of these PACE matters. He said there certainly was. Roy Johnson has suggested to me to sign my emails as Gordon T. Pace of Canada so I'll try this, hoping it will help.
