Professor John Gordon

The White Bronco Professor John Gordon

Leo often felt that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. On June 4, 1994, he was in a white Ford Bronco on Highway 405 outside of Los Angeles. Every law enforcement officer within one hundred miles was looking for a white Bronco and a fugitive named O. J. Simpson. And so Leo did what any Vietnam veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder would do: he ditched the beer, threw the joint out the window, and panicked. He steered off the freeway and into the unsuspecting life of an angel. The ride that had started in a Los Angeles suburb tripped through Southeast Asia, New England, the Florida Keys, New York City, and Palm Springs and finally ran out of steam in Hawaii, and along the way, Leo found his life and his love.
