    I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. He was a friendly, kind and caring person. I knew George and Florence through square dancing and sharing home visits. George loved to make work well---an emotion I also have but am not able to bring about as he did. I spent a great afternoon discussing and seeing his tractor projects. This world needs more people like George Miner. I send my condolences to his family.
