I first met George at the local Ski Tow, located behind Union Street School. We skiied together many, many times through grade school, Jr High and High School. He usually beat me in the Saturday races.
George and I were in the precussion section together in the HS Band. I considered him a good friend. I am sorry to hear of his passing and wish Pat all condolences .
