As do many true Cougars, I owe my start in Educational Administration, and any successes that followed, to the spark and guidance that George so willingly shared with me. Thank you for sharing him.

Harriet and Family: George had no equal in our state as a supporter of public schools and as a mentor to (Cougar) school leaders. We learned from the best--and we carry his lessons with us. We love to tell the stories--and we will keep on telling them. I can honestly say he is the reason I continue to do my best to prepare school leaders who value the Cougar Connection he instilled in so many of us. Thank you for sharing him with us.

He will be missed, he will be remembered. My sincere sympathy to Harriet and family. We all lost a special...

George was a blessing to Ellensburg and to Central. He attended Rotary with my dad Mose. Two wonderful men. Both sold to serve.
