Ms. Mae, I was sorry to hear about Mr. George. Please forgive us for not attending his service. We did not hear about his passing until the next week. Please let us know if there is anything that you need. He will be greatly missed. Lisa & AJ
Mr. George, Thanks for the memories. Your involvement with the cub scouts and getting young kids interested in archeology. I still have my collection of rocks. Thanks for helping Renee & I win the school’s science fair and going to the finals at Nicholls State. Thanks for getting me out of class to help you with electrical work, and entrusting me to bring your foreign exchange student on a date. We will remember all of your work on the Manchac Indian site and your contribution to the cannon in LaPlace. When someone studies YOUR past they will find that you have made significant differences in people’s lives and in their deaths (archeology).
George was also assisted in starting what now is St. Charles Parish Hospital Emergency Medical Services. As a volunteer he worked on the ambulance and became a Registered Emergency Medical Technician. Eventually the service became a paid service and George worked on the ambulance for a few more years. All of us at St. Charles Parish Hospital EMS thank him for his service and all of St. Charles Parish should also for if not for volunteers like George, they would not have the EMS they have today.
