Graduating in the Class of 1960, Gordy went on to serve as
an officer in the U.S. Army. Then he followed a path of varied business career and entrepreneurial
activities in a variety of industries including computers, electronics, finance,
radio, oil services, consulting, and investment management. In the past decade, Gordy has taught
classes in Ethics and Management at the Foster Business School and guest
lectured in Management, Marketing, Sales, and Finance. Today, Gordy describes himself with a bit of tongue-in-cheek as "Have been
unemployed and unemployable for more than 15 years".
Gordy authored two books for the benefit of our fraternity and Sigma Tau.
SIGMA TAU CHAPTER
OF
PHI GAMMA DELTA FRATERNITY
1900-1960
and
VETERANS
OF SIGMA TAU
PHI GAMMA DELTA
WORLD WAR I AND WORLD WAR II
Gordy brings to his authoring activities a wide-ranging intellect complimented with deep business experiences that contribute much to everything that he tackles....including authoring histories of Sigma Tau. At the October luncheon, Gordy shared stories, because his observations about the two books are that beyond the facts, the "stories effect us". Gordy's comments focused on "What did they feel?" and "What did they think?"
A summary of Gordy's comments: "It's the story -- not the weeks, the months, the years of war. The book "Veterans of Sigma Tau" offers the stories of Fiji veterans who answered our nation's call. It's their lives, their families back home, and their actions in their theaters of war."
The luncheon was fortunate to have a table of 1946ers attending, so Gordy's comments rang true as he discussed the history of the fraternity's veterans.
