north-west companies: She bought up stocks early in such famed north-west companies as Nordstrom, Microsoft and Starbucks, according to The Guardian. She was a very intelligent woman, meticulous record keeper, very organized, and had the wherewithal to buy stocks and hold on to them that a lot of people at that age didn't really do too much, said John Jacobs, 61, Gordon's godson and personal representative for the estate. Eva Gordon was known for accumulating a small fortune by being both thrifty and a shrewd investor. About one month ago, Eva Gordon's estate sent checks for 550,000 to 17 colleges across the state, including North Seattle College and Seattle Central College. Gordon was known for caring deeply for youth and education, and she regularly donated to and volunteered for children's and educational programs. The contribution was a shock for many of the institutions, as it was one of the largest donations the colleges have ever received.
