Nevada Bob Gordon

Nevada Bob Gordon is preparing for another road trip, this time to Stillwater, Minn, where he is slated to produce an audio version of his memoir 50 Years with the Wrong Woman at Wild Horse Recording.

Owner/producer/audio engineer Daryl Bolicek is a great guy who is worth a story himself. To set up a time in drop in contact Daryl at wildhorserecording@gmail.com. After a stint in the Navy Nevada Bob joined a 1960s Seattle Police Force that was a little lax ethically.

This is a continuation of the story of Nevada Bob's battle to overcome cancer near 50 years ago. If you want to read part one first, here's the beginning of the story . Photo: Gary Firstenberg Bob Gordon's battle with cancer was interrupted by a near fatal accident in the sawmill he was operating at the time. A saw blade at the mill could have gutted him while he was filing its teeth, but only damaged his arm. It still required surgery and the family had to rally while he recovered in the hospital.  This is an excerpt from the chapter My Ailment in 50 Years with the Wrong Woman .

Carol was in for a rough time even still. She had a brand-new child, a husband who could soon die, and four more lively children to care for.

The early consensus is that Nevada Bob Gordon's newly released memoir, 50 Years with the Wrong Woman  is a real page-turner. Here are some of the early reviews that have been shared. Posted today on Amazon: Memoir of a Colorful Western Character This memoir is overflowing with insightful anecdotes about living life fully. The author is a jokester, badass, and gifted storyteller; he is also a singing cowboy with several CDs to his credit. The breadth of his 80 years of life experience (including 58 years of marriage) is awesome. His stories about working in the Seattle Police Force are particularly compelling. As the memoir progresses, it becomes more of a cowboy tale as he works on different ranches out West, continuing to engage in tomfoolery and new adventures. He and his family face numerous crises, most of which they miraculously survive and others that are tragic. This is a great book to read with a couple of beers – once you start it, you will find it hard to put down. * * *...
