It started in 1957,George was to us (Ted,Jerry,Buzz,&me),at first, just an old guy with a m/s shop.I learned WHAT a guy! And what a m/s shop??? He befriended me(maybe felt sorry for me) I had a1948 500 R.E. George would let me go through his trash to see if there was anything there to help me keep that beast alive. He sold me my first 500 twin then my first 700 twin. During our H.S.years at Proviso and lots of time at Santa Fe, I found out how cool George really was.And , WE KNEW COOL ! My memories of George (Maywood Mustangs & Silver Wheels M/C"s)bring back lots of very funny and very good times! Now, tears to my ( now old) eyes to hear about him passing away . I feel blessed to have been able to talk to him within the last 6 months. My heart felt condolences goes out to his family and close friends. Also, to George's extended R. E . current family and those yet to come! p.s. thanks for keeping me in the loop Buzz, give Pixie a kiss for me. MOLDY now, MOE. George was truly an inspiration to me.

It is a tribute to George, someone I truly wish I had had the opportunity to meet. But it also goes to show what a fantastic community you have built around your web site. We get to feel we know one another, well enough to mourn the passing of one of the greats. Well done. David in Fort Lauderdale What a terrific posting, Kevin.
