Gary Gordon gave the first of two new member bios.
 
With a father in the military Gary was born in Germany and subsequently lived in a variety of places, including California, where he flourished.  But the family moved from sunny California to frigid Detroit.  Gary attended high school in Utica and college at Michigan State.  After graduating with a degree in horticulture, he remained in Lansing in the automotive business.  
 
Gary then took a job at a mushroom farm in western Michigan, where he met his future wife of more than thirty years (who found Gary to be a "fun guy," suggested one club punster).  They moved to Lansing to raise their family while Gary sold truck parts.  When the opportunity arose Gary and Sharon moved to Lake Ann, living on the Platte River.  Along with fish-watching and gardening (i.e., feeding the deer), Gary enjoys beekeeping.  He also is proud to be a Rotarian.
