George served throughout WWII as an enlisted man loading bombs and bullets onto B-29 bombers in the South Pacific, Mariana Islands, the Philippines; and served briefly on Iwo Jima after it was secured. After the war, George and his new bride, Bonnie, lived on a new family farm located south of Blue Mountain Lake.
When the Korean War broke out, George was given two weeks to put his affairs in order and report for service to his country once again. He spent much of this enlistment in the desert of Nevada assisting in the US atomic bomb testing.
George & Bonnie returned to the Magazine area and raised their family on the family cattle farm. Many area residents knew George and Bonnie through George's service on the Magazine School Board around the time of the construction of the new and present high school building. Or they may have known them through George's & Bonnie's expertise in the area's hay fields and other endeavors.
After the Korean War, George continued his military career serving through the Vietnam War reaching the rank of Colonel in the US Army Reserves before his retirement. George & Bonnie traveled extensively. They later sold their Magazine home and moved to Dardanelle. George worked hard, he served his country well, and he loved his family. He will be missed.
