A long time ago I had the honour of a brief telephone call with George about smart theory. May I ask to whom I could ask a question in relation to George's "smart" theory please?

Dear Doran family,
I was truly saddened to learn that George had passed away. He lived a wonderful life and had a great family. Since meeting Kevin in college, it has been my pleasure to share in a few family events with all of you over the years. Your home has always been one that is open, warm and welcoming. While George will be missed by all who knew him, he will live on forever in our memories. May peace and blessings with you all.
