The Rev. Canon Dr. Gordon K. McBride, priest, historian, pilot, author, historian, mentor and friend, died recently. He will be missed. Flying to Tombstone, Gordon's first novel, is a compelling commentary on border and immigration issues. Set in Tombstone and Tucson, the novel offers a rich perspective on immigrants and ranchers and the land on which they live. A second novel set in England offers the idea that places have their own memory.
Gordon came to Texas last year to offer a Lenten program at St. Andrew's. His voice was strong, his message timely, and his graceful presence unwavering.
Keep flying, Gordon. Thanks for everything; I'll never forget you.

Gordon was a great fellow to meet, even if only briefly, as he told life's stories in a down-to-earth way.
