Apologies for not being with you today. I still often think about the "Good old Days" days in Nuclear Medicine when Gordon was the Chief. Looking back now, I'm sure the whole Hospital was a better place then with everyone made to feel they were part of the business - and that was before it became a business. Gordon was always a "people" person I reckon, and one comment he made to me I have always remembered. It was a day I was not busy and I asked him if there was something I could do to help. His comment was" remember this day because there will be plenty of days when you are so busy you won't know which way to turn". How right he was! Always a Gentleman was Gordon.
