I met George a few years back while visiting my cousin Thelma Mitchell.We became friends right away, in fact i felt as if i had known George for years,especially when when started talking about the basketball games between Ellaville and Montezuma back in the 60s.I'm sure on my next visit, i will surely missed his smiling face sitting there.
