Me. Dennett was a favorite teacher at All Saints. He was stern but fair and truly cared about helping his students learn about civics and American History. Thank you sir for that most valuable, and often undervalued commodity, time.
All the best to your family.
Ben.

It was an honor to spend time with George. He was so knowledgeable on almost every subject. He was a good hearted man, who will always have a positive effect on my life.

It didn't matter how much time I got to talk to George, it was never enough. I always thought of things I wanted to ask him. As you know, he is a deep well.

Rest George, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.
