North Dakota's "Clarence Iverson" Oilman Dies -- Described as Legendary -- North Dakota, USA

Leon "Tude" Gordon, 95, died Tuesday in a Williston hospital. Incredible story.

Gordon was one of the roughnecks working the Clarence Iverson well in 1951. That was 59 years ago, or thereabouts. He would have been 36 years old when he was drilling that well. Hmmm.
