History
Jack and Holly Gordon, both originally born in Wales, moved to Rossland in 1929. Their children, Joyce (born 1922), John (born 1928), Alice (born 1932) and Clyde (born 1936) grew up in Rossland. Jack Gordon was mayor of Rossland 1937-1938 and again 1940-1945. In 2022 Alice Chiko, in conjunction with the Rossland Museum, wrote a book about her childhood in Rossland in the 1930s and 40s.
