Great grandson of Samuel
Whidden & Sophia Vincent – descendants of the Nova Scotia Vincents - George

Gordon and yes, his hat was still smouldering!
Gordon was
born in the Jarrow district of Alberta and spent two years at
the Schools of Agriculture at Vermilion and Olds. He enlisted for WWII in 1942 and returned home in 1946 having served overseas.
He married Helen Knudson and had two children, Gail and little Virginia born two months after his death.
