A long time resident of C.N.who was instrumental in making C.N.what it is today.having been the longest full time realtor associated with ILLmensee Realty I witnessed George's commitment to preserving land & farms.He was most proud of his listing Dorbrook Farm in colts neck.His goal to save this pristine parcel of land from greedy developers.He convinced the county to purchase it and suggested a park for all to enjoy.They agreed with George & today Dorbrook Park is the pride of Mon, County,thanks to George ILLmensee !
