Although George may not have held a brush he was a key member of the Chinese Painting Guild. Along with Maureen he was someone who I knew I could count on to help to make our events special for everyone. His warm smile meant so much to me. I also enjoyed seeing his admiration and appreciation of Maureen´s talent.
