A BELATED MEMORY OF A VERY DEAR FRIEND.
I met George in London in the 60s and we became close friends. We met at All Souls Langham Place the spiritual center of the Rev John Stott. We maintained our friendship over the years, when I moved to Vancouver. Our last visit was a joyous occasion on his boat as we explored the rivers and inlets of BC. I will forever cherish his friendship.
