After George retired as Principal of James Bolton P.S. he would often joke with me with twinkle in his eye that he was now working for Honeydew. Then he chuckled that it was really Gen asking for odd jobs around the house- honey could you do this ? The two of them were such a lovely couple and we remember them dancing like couple of newlyweds. Our condolences to Susan and George Jr.
