Family History
Leland "Ted" or "Teddy" Gorman was a devout Jehovah Witness. He was born in Spring Valley, Wisconsin and lived in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, then the Puget Sound area of Washington State and then lived in Berkeley and Hollister, California in the 1960s and 1970s. He then moved to Grants Pass, Oregon where he lived out his days. He had gone out to get some wood and did not return; he was found in his wheel barrel as if he had sat down and died there.
Grandson William recalls: "I remember getting hair cuts from Grandpa Ted. He had a large collection of real to real tapes of conversations with friends and family members, if only I could find those now."
