I was Company Manager, then MC for the magic show in the late '70's (?), need to go find an old playbill. I have photos from the show and memories. George was always trying to put together caper to break into Neff's warehouse or Blackstones or Thurston or Kellar. He could convince you of anything with a straight face, including the evil curse guarding the warehouse.

I actually knew and worked with George when I was a teenager. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met.

He lectured for us in Springfield, MA maybe 15 years ago.

I also worked on the show with George in the mid-70's. He had performed at my high school and they needed a couple of students to help out for the day. I volunteered and after that performance, George asked me if I'd be interested in continuing on with the show (on weekends and whenever possible.) I accepted and over the next year or so, had a wonderful time. It was a mixed bag of responsibilities ... one moment assisting on stage and then running off to handle the music. I too learned a lot from George. What a kind and great man.
