George was fun to swim with. I tried racing the 50yards, but he always beat me. So sorry that George and I lost touch these last few years. Prucilla if in the neighborhood please call and we can get together. Very impressed with his distinguished career . His love for his family was always on display.willy and George
George and I became fast friends when we began to work together in about 1980 at the SEC, due to our common military background during the Vietnam War era. George was my mentor during most of my career at the SEC, and I owe much of my work success to him. We had some great times together during enforcement investigations, Commission meetings, POB oversight visits, and SEC/PCAOB interactions. I really missed my almost daily contact with him when he left the SEC and went to the NASDAQ and then the PCAOB, but we frequently got together on business or for lunch until I retired from the SEC in 2006. I have always admired George for his honesty, intelligence, and work ethic.
