I only recently found out that George has passed. He was my teacher when I was working toward my master's degree at Georgetown. He was a wonderful teacher and even though our class was only two weeks long, he made a lasting impression on me and my classmates. A few years later he came to the school where I taught and led us in several theater games as a bonding activity before a new school year. I also got to see him portray Henry Clay. My condolences go to his family and friends.
