George - a good friend to Dad (John Roberts) in your years together in the NVA. You were the driving force in educating youngsters of the local schools and all the NVA gang worked so hard on school talks and trips. We shall miss you George but expect the lads that went on before you have welcomed you with a few bevvies.
