"George and Theone were great friends with my parents, Otis and Marguerite Wood, from New Market Iowa. I was just a kid, but I remember their visits. If I remember right, George was a coach at New Market before he moved on to bigger schools and much success! They were a great couple! Jane Wood Crawford"
