Follow on Google News | Connections: A Lifetime Journey Through the World of Celebrity by Gordon LoreBy: BearManor Media If Ginger on Gilligan's Island had discovered Richard M. Nixon beneath a palm tree, the surprise would have been no more shocking than the contents revealed in author Gordon Lore's treasure chest of memories. Coincidentally, he knew both Tina Louise and Nixon. For fifty years, he associated with an equally eclectic mix of fascinating people you would nowadays expect to find only in a time capsule, such as President Harry S. Truman, James Cagney, Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth, Claire Bloom, John F. and Robert F. Kennedy, then-Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Duke of Windsor, Anne Revere, Lesley Ann Warren, the Star Trek: The Next Generation main cast (Patrick Stewart, LeVar Burton, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner), Joe DiMaggio, and more. Burl Ives, whose "A Holly, Jolly Christmas" still resonates annually through shopping mall loudspeakers, once sang to him; Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Frank Gehry discussed architecture with him; Harry Wu debated human rights with him; exorcist Dr. Antonia Rodriguez sermonized deliverance to him. From beautiful Chesapeake Bay shores to the halls of Washington and to a mineral water spa in Los Angeles, journey back through Gordon's enjoyable and spiritually rewarding career. Illustrated. Bibliography. Index Gordon Lore's other works include Mysteries of the Skies: UFOs in Perspective (1968), Strange Effects From UFOs (1969), The Earle Family of Newfoundland and the Birth of a Canadian Atlantic Province, and he is former Editor of The U.F.O.
