George Wigglesworth Chase

Dear Wendy, I was pleased to read this tribute to your father, with so many loving details. Hope you are doing well. My father passed on in 2018 too, so I no longer visit New Hampshire much. Living in Connecticut these days. I have a friend who does equine therapy, with people on the spectrum, thought of you and the days of you riding Stormy. xo Kathleen

It makes me very sad to realize George isn't with us anymore, but he had a long, rich life and adored his family. He was one of my favorite teachers at St. Paul's, which is saying something, because I was one of the all-time worst students in his math class. I just didn't get the subject. I did, however, get George. He was witty and wry and very kind. He used to draw a horizontal line from one end of the blackboard to the other, with a zero at one end and a trillion at the other, then he...

We have just come from the beautiful memorial service. I am grieving for Sally's pain both physical and soul. I was happy and relieved to see that a gentleman had recorded the ceremony in the back.

For the record, our daughter never had your dad, George Also, and she said that you...

George was a devoted member of The Little Nature Museum (now the Nature Discovery Center.) He and his wife attended most of our programs at the Town Library. One of our presenters had problems with her projector. George went home to retrieve his projector so that we could all enjoy the program. He and his wife were Museum Members for many years. I taught their daughter, Sally, when she was in the 7th grade at Rundlett in Concord. I feel most fortunate to have known George and his...

It is with great sorrow that I learn of the passing of Mr. Chase. In life you do not get a chance to meet many truly selfless people and call them mentor.
He was an inspiring teacher, house master and coach. I have spent most of my life measuring my actions by " what Mr. Chase would do" and I am deeply saddened to know there will not be another generation of students that will benefit from his guidance.

I helped to found the award that honors him at SPS and I hope in some small...
