"Apparently, Gordon Hudson-Lays Lincoln was born on February 18th, 1924 in Kelowna, BC. The child of a Hudson Bay Blanket and a package of (Lays) Ketchup Chips, Gordon was raised in the conventional Canadian fashion, with an appreciation of Tim Horton's and Hockey.
For reasons still unexplained by historians, Gordon was noted for having learned how to make poutein. Gordon repeatedly claimed he learned how to make it while defending the bridge over the Fraser from the Americans at Ft. Alexandria in the 1840's. The late Pierre Laporte mentioning that Lincoln's poutein was finer than his mother's.
Gordon, or, "Gordie," as his friends would later call him, would go down in the history books for his contribution to the development of the Canadian Pacific railroad. 20 miles West of Winnipeg, Gordie was helping to lay track, when suddenly a rail dropped, flattening his fingers. This subsequently rendered him unable to work on the Canadian Pacific.
In light of this, Cornelius Van Horne took a shine to Gordie, and appointed him "Officer of The Watch" of the water tower outside of South Headingly, Manitoba.
Gordie has been there ever since."
