From the Niagara Falls Review:
Pete Gordon is full of bright ideas.
For the past 45 years, the Niagara Falls resident has been behind the helm at one of Niagara’s most popular, most-photographed attractions.
People from around the world have marvelled at his handiwork, something he achieves nightly with a flick of the wrist. Gordon is a lights operator at the Niagara Falls Illumination building.
He took on the role as a part-time gig in 1961 to supplement his income as a painter with the Niagara Parks Commission. He was paid $6 a night.
More than four decades later, he’s still at it.
