Biographical Sketch: http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Gordon_Ernest_425534165.aspx

Born April 13, 1922, in New Castle, Pa., to Lora Sizemore Gordon and Ernest Paul Gordon, both North Carolina natives, the family returned to North Carolina in 1937 and Lloyd finished high school in Yadkinville.
...
Gordon was at Hickam Field, next door to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, when the Japanese struck on Dec. 7 and served more than four years at various Pacific bases before the war ended. He was on Guam at that time. He received the Asiatic Pacific Theater Campaign Medal with two Bronze Service Stars.

After the war, Gordon attended the Don Martin School of Radio and Television in Hollywood, Calif. and took his first job in broadcasting at radio station WESB in Bradford, Pa., operated by Bradford Publications. After four years at Bradford, Gordon was sent to nearby Wellsville, N.Y., where he built and operated a new station, WLSV, for the same parent organization.
...
Gordon became both program director and news director at the station but gave up the program job when he found local news reporting more interesting. He was still news director at WBIG when he retired in 1985.
...
Gordon also served one year as president of the Piedmont Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, later known as the Society of Professional Journalists, which had members in both broadcast and print media.

Over the years, Gordon met and interviewed many newsmakers and celebrities because of his job and its affiliation with CBS network. He received many awards but he seemed most proud of honors given by the RTNDAC when he retired. He was presented a framed resolution titled "In Appreciation of Lloyd Gordon".
...
It went on to term Gordon "a professional of the first order".

Among other awards were the Brotherhood Award from the Society of Christians and Jews in Greensboro. He received the first Edward R. Murrow Award from the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, with presentation made in person by the great newsman's widow.

He also was made an honorary lifetime member of the Greensboro Jaycees at the time when there was less than a handful of such honors extended by what was then the leading Jaycee chapter in the world.

Although he was not active in his later years, Gordon was a member of Masonic Lodge 230 at Wellsville and the Corning Consistory, both in New York state. He was a member of the Oasis Shrine of Charlotte.
