I am so grateful for the time I had seeing George while in Pittsburgh last October. My wife Linda and I had many wonderful times with him and his wife when we were grad students at Lehigh University in the mid-60s. We enjoyed getting caught up on each other's news during our periodic telephone conversations over the many years. He was a very special person for me.
