During the early 1990s, Caroline and I met a Canadian bike messenger from the London, Ontario, area who fell in love with Germany after attending a race in Berlin and decided to stick around for a while. Ian Gordon was that Canadian, somehow he landed in Frankfurt, and one fateful day I ran into him at the hot local hot record shop of that time called Delirium. Ian often visited our little office where we attempted to make record covers and various other 3D psychedelic information. Shortly before Caroline and I moved to the United States, Ian stopped over for an ‘evening’, leaving quite late to go contemplate the language of trees when he stumbled upon this sign from the Frankfurt Abrams Complex – the U.S. Army’s 5th Corp Headquarters at the time. Today the sign makes its place on a wall in our bathroom. Thank you, Ian Gordon.
After 11 years, Ian and I finally spoke again. Finding his phone number hadn’t been easy, but here on my site I post this entry about him and within days his number was found with relative ease. He left Europe shortly after we did and ended up back in his home town of London, Ontario in Canada. Ian is now married and has been for a number of years to a lady named Gayle – I am awaiting a promised photo from Ian and his wife. Our phone call of more than an hour and a half was a great meander down memory lane and will hopefully lead to more frequent hello’s between us. Hope to see Ian posting a comment or two here in the very near future. Take care Ian, write soon.
