  BookPage Interview January 2000: Mary Gordon
She was raised in a family that "took deep pleasure in the liturgical world of the church" and assembled at her grandmother's on Tuesday nights to watch Bishop Sheen on television.
In the most poignant essay in the book, "Places to Play," Gordon writes that as a child, she was not good at playing and always felt that she "was only masquerading as a child." Desperate to be taken seriously, she couldn't wait for childhood to end.
Gordon later writes that she graduated from college younger than when she entered, and credits Barnard and the 1960s for teaching her the value of play.

 George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Gordon (Noel) Byron, 6th Baron Byron (January 22, 1788–April 19, 1824) was an English poet and leading figure in Romanticism.
Byron was born in London, the son of Captain John "Mad Jack" Byron and of John's second wife Lady Catherine Gordon, heiress of Gight, Aberdeenshire.
Lady Catherine moved back to Scotland shortly afterwards, where she raised her son in Aberdeen until May 21, 1798, when the death of his great-uncle made him the sixth Baron Byron, inheriting Newstead Abbey, rented to Henry Edward Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey de Ruthyn during Byron's adolescence.

 SLAINTE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron, was the son of Captain John "Mad Jack" Byron (1756-91) and his second wife Catherine Gordon of Gight (d.1811) whom he married for her money (around GBP 25,000) in 1785 and whose fortune he promptly set about ravaging.
Catherine Gordon of Gight - north of Aberdeen in the valley of Ythan - could claim descent from King James I, although the poet was to be more exercised by his Byron progenitors.
Turbulent marriage and numerous bi-sexual amours underline the extent to which his "Mad Jack" and "Wicked Lord" antecedents were foregrounded in an extraordinary personality in which the pride of his Gordon blood and the liberal sympathies of his mother played their part.
