Baby Gordon sits out front of his parents' drugstore in 1951. Read More
Gordon Haddock's father, John, owned and operated his own pharmacy, which he opened in the early fifties. By the time Gordon was six, he worked in the store. He washed windows, took out garbage, and dusted shelves. The jobs he was given grew more complex as he aged. It was a good place for a young boy to learn business basics.
Gordon Haddock is dressed as Super BS Man, a character he developed and took very seriously. This event was to celebrate the Body Shop Saskatchwan's 10th anniversary.
John Haddock graduated from pharmacy at the U of S in 1938. He went to Montreal to find work. There, he met and married Marjorie Fredricks. The Haddocks moved to John's hometown of Rosetown SK in 1951, to open Rosetown Pharmacy. This store provided Gordon with many of his first business lessons.
Mary Harelkin Bishop has written five books about the tunnels of Moosejaw. Trek Publishing published the fifth one in the series, titled Next Stop - Chicago.
John Haddock's sons, Roy and Gord, moved back to Rosetown in the mid-seventies.
In the mid-1970s, Gordon Haddock and his brother, Roy, were delighted to rename and relocate the family drug store into the larger corner building. A couple years later they renovated, adding an extension to one side of the building. Their father, John, worked every day in the new pharmacy. He worked the day before he died, in June of 1980.
