George S. Lamb

An unforgettable outstanding human! His robust and perceptive vision for our Teacher Corps program in 1970, one of only three such"rural" programs that year, targeted the needs of Native American school children in Western Washington. Aided by his colleague Helen Darrow and assistant manager Bill Orme, he worked with five tribal governments and five school districts to meet their needs while simultaneously affording an experimental/alternative MEd to almost 30 students. Uncharted territory...

Dear George, you were one of those shining lights of a human whose enduring warmth will continue to brighten our world long after your passing. Your sweet smile and encouraging presence in a classroom of little learners and aspiring teachers was a gift to the universe... a calming and loving force that will be missed. I felt privileged to have known you. My love to you always, sir.

George, you were a dear friend to my father-in-law, Stewart Van Wingerden and a welcome light and visitor in the Viking Union at Western! You used to come in to make reservations and we all loved seeing you! You always took the opportunity to say hello to me. You are a beautiful, generous soul and we wish you lasting peace, joy, and love.
Christina and Jay Van Wingerden

Thank you for the support and encouragement you gave me during my student-teaching at Harmony Elementary. You always listened and at the same time knew what concerns we student-teachers had..I knew you for those short three months, but you were always close at mind.

George was always such a kind man and interested in my family and how they were doing. All of us remember him with great affection.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
