I am so grateful that you will always be in my heart and mind and thankful for our lives on Folly and for being able to share the same parents. We were blessed - especially me for having you as family! I miss you!

My mother taught with Mr. Sineath at B.C. I had him for Geometry as a Freshman in '73-'74 and still remember how he made learning fun. I still use the cute phrases like "What's that up there in the road, A HEAD." And his grits stories were great....how weavels were trained to go pick them. He also taught us about "risk" by letting us roll dice or shoot a ball at the trash can to improve a test grade...odds were ALWAYS that our grade would be LOWERED, so he was making us think. (I'm now 52 and...

Claudia - I was so shocked yesterday afternoon when Russell called me and told me of George's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. I've read many of the entries in the guest book and I know they have been comforting to you at this time to know how much others loved and cared for him also. I pray for God's peace and comfort for you; please know that I love you.
Your cousin, Carolyn S. Butler

Claudia,
I am so sorry for the loss of George. I so enjoyed visting with you, George, Diane,Ann and Judy when I came to West Columbia in 2006. George was such a brilliant man and enjoyed chatting about his navy days and politics. May God lift you up in the time of sorrow.
Your Cousin,

Mr. Sineath was truly an extraordinary person. I had the priviledge of having him as my geometry teacher as so many others, and I too have such fond memories of my classroom experience. It was a hard class, but Mr. Sineath brought joy and hope to the classroom. Even though I felt defeated many, many days; I always looked forward to seeing Mr. Sineath--he had such a warm and fun-loving spirit. From reading some of these postings, I've learned that Mr. Sineath liked nick-naming some of his...
