Named Our Son

Gordon Chadwick was a life-long friend. With his untimely death, his branch of the Chadwick 'Clan' came to an end. In his honor, we named our second-born son after him: James Chadwick Cameron. Chad was 31 years old on February 7, 2001. He is a fine young man whom Gordon would have been proud to know...same free spirit, gift of gab, friend to all, smart and principled. We remember you, Gordon, with wings on high!
