George Allen was quite a good friend and neighbor. George also was quite an athlete and loved to talk about sports. During the mid 60's, when he lived on W. Liberty St., George would emphasis to us younger kids to be all you can be. That is to do the right thing; right. May his memories continue to live with us. May God continue to bless Mrs. Young and family.
