Biography

Gordon Bruce was a Texan.

NOTE: Contacted 18 Jan 2018 by one of two children born to Gordon and Audie and by one of their four grandchildren, also, who'd like to trace the BRUCE back to Robert Bruce (1274-1329). So I sent along Wikitree page on this Notable (he IS in Wikipedia) and some other URL including some that refer to American descendants of Robert the Bruce aka Robert Bruce (on Wikitree).
