I didn't know George, but I appreciate all the contributions he made to 
our hobby, exemplifying the tradition of "giving back." Anyone who has 
worked a Topband expedition has benefited from one of his contributions.

As a jr. high school student with a new ticket that local hams had 
mentored me to obtain, one of them gave me my first rig. Another built a 
6M ground plane for me. George was, like them, one of the good guys who 
made our hobby what it is. RIP, George.
