George Gorgas Twitchell

I am grateful to have received a reminder in my e-mail box of George's passing three years ago. I am always glad to share with family how much he touched my life. I talked with my mother, Myrtle Cole, a few days ago, and we happened to mention Quechee, the foliage, and how beautiful it was driving the North Road in Barnard before it was paved. Ah...all those 'before' years. My dad, Bruce, 88, died March 11th in the nursing home with Mom and my sister, Bonnie, at his side. Another chapter...

I was touched to receive a notice that reminded me of George and Ann. What pleasant memories I carry in my heart to this very day. It's wonderful to have memories that bring nothing but smiles...and a separate peace...as I recall my love for both of them. I will treasure the letters and poems George sent to me. My dad, Bruce Cole, will be 88 this month, and is now in a nursing home, and my mother, Myrtle, moved into a small one-bedroom apartment. I was in NY in September, and Mom and I...

Today is March 19, 2017. I was talking with my mother this morning, and I mentioned that I had not heard from George at Christmastime, which was a first for me. I wrote an e-mail shortly thereafter, but again, I did not hear back. I told her that I was going to go online and see if he was still alive. I am very saddened to learn that George died back in October. He was a dear friend of mine from the Vermont days when he and Anne bought the farm on the North Road from my parents, Bruce...

I am at a loss for words to describe my beloved neighbors and friends, Anne and George. The more I ponder the impact they had on my childhood, the more overwhelmed with gratefulness I am. They were influential in my motivation for education, my introduction to a variety of sports and my exposure to many of the arts, especially music, dance and theater. Their home was my entertainment center and always a place where I felt welcomed and loved. Anne's smiles and laughter and George's humor...

Our thoughts and condolences to Steve and the entire Twitchell family.

Ken & Sally McGovern

We're sending love and condolences during this time of loss for the Twitchell's and their families. George and Anne were an important presence in our (the Haviland children's) growing up years, especially at Square Pond and Colebrook. We will miss you both dearly but are holding you as always in our hearts. Much love and celebration for the two very special and wonderful people that you were and you are. Hope and the Haviland family

To the family of Anne & "King George", (as I would call him). It is with such sadness that I am writing this note...my heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every one of you. I've only known this beautiful couple for about one year; however I have grown to love and adore both of them. George was a dedicated husband to Anne and I would always enjoy his regular visits to my recreation room as he would sit and wait patiently for Anne to finish her lunch so that he could spend quality time with...
