Georgies middle name was Henry. I named my son Mark Henry after him. He was my first love and perhaps, in reflecting, my true one. We spent alot of years coming of age with eachother, from duck and goose hunting to skipping the senior prom...all dressed up but hit the beach and a bon fire instead. Oh brother. What a shock when I came home and my mom asked who was crowned queen. ooops. We had many great adventures together including cruises and trips to very warm places in the dead of winter. I could write a book about our misadventures... Alber Daher, if your out there, you know some of the ones I mean. Miss you, Georgie. Rest in Peace.
