This is another shot of the main facade of the George Eastman House. Designed by J. Foster Warner of Rochester. The structure is adorned with a portico of four Corinthian columns, finely careved in limestone. Now a little bit of history: After his death in 1932 his residence and its grounds were left to the University of Rochester, which chose to use it to house its president. It served this purpose until 1947. Between the years of 1935 & 1947, however, many interior and exterior alterations were made to suit the family in residence. Most radical was the removal of the decorated ceilings in the living room, dining room, and the billiard room. The woodwork was entirely changed in the Living Room. In 1947, the university donated the house to the board of the newly formed George Eastman House, Inc., s non-profit educational institution created by charter to "maintain a museum of photography and allied pursuits in or about the City of Rochester, as a memorial to the late George Eastman". Years after his death his house and grounds suffered from hard use as an active public institution. A group of interested Rochester citizens had realized since 1979 that Eastman's home must in part be restored as a historic house museum. The work to restore the house began late in 1987 and was completed in January 1990. Early on it it was decided that the house must match the high state of finish Eastman had originally specified. For purposes of restoration, photographs were used in many ways often being enlarged to assist the artisans in their work. The elaborate plaster ceilings were recreated from information gathered from old photographs and a few surviving clues. Woodwork was replaced. Old finishes were revived or completely restored sometimes using old formulae. Master craftspeople restored color to walls of plaster and wood, and restored or reproduced Eastman's furnishings as necessary. Rugs and carpeting were copied or replaced, using the photographs for guidance and period palettes for color inspiration. A nationwide search recoverd many of Eastman's original furnishings once lost or thought destroyed. Original furnishings continue to reappear. Accuracy was a prime objective in the restoration. Located at the George Eastman House & Gardens, 900 East Ave in Rochester, NY.

You won't find Cascade Hollow on most maps. Which, if you think about it, may be a blessing in disguise. Living a ways off the beaten path has its advantages. In 1870, George A. Dickel made his first bottle of Tennessee Whisky in Cascade Hollow. Today, George Dickel Tennessee Whisky is handcrafted with the same quality and attention to detail. And Cascade Hollow is still a place where time is measured in years. While we are tucked away in the Tennessee hills, we do love having people stop by to visit. All tours are free.

George Clarke Wells (my great great grandfather) - Born Jan 1844 in Westerly, Rhode Island, South of Providence. Entered the Union Army in July of 1862, joining Company A of the 7th Rhode Island Regiment. Was a Private in the Battle of Fredricksburg, Virginia in the Civil War. General Burnside was in charge of the Union Army. On December 12, 1862 Private Wells was shot in the right hip while rowing a boat in the Rappahannock River. He was helping construct a pontoon bridge across the river to enable Burnside to move his troops into battle against the Confederates. Snipers (sharpshooters) located in buildings on the south side of the river were shooting at the Union soldiers working to construct the bridge. This is how Private George C. Wells received his wound. Private Wells was transported to Washington D.C.'s General Hospital. His wound was very serious and was life threatening. His father traveled from Rhode Island, took him home and he was nursed back to general good health although his wound was a problem for him the rest of his life. George C. Wells was sold land in Southern Illinois (Farina) at a low price by the U.S. Government because he was a wounded Civil War veteran. He married Emma Louise Brown and had four children. Oscar, Lena and Harriet, who were school teachers, and Laura who died in infancy. (written by G.C. Wells, great grandson)

My grandfather, George Thomas Berry, and his sister Ellen Berry, about 1894. He was born in 1889 and she in 1891.
I've met George a few times on the beach during those past two years. He speaks Russian and some Hebrew, we communicate rather well just the same. Usually he drives a tractor to carry away heavy debris. Today he was working by the recently demolished lifeguard station destroyed by the last storm a few weeks ago.
"This is a good guy, he is OK", George said with a very gentle smile as I was showing him this portrait I took of him.
Yes, I do believe he is a nice guy.
George Best (22 May 1946 – 25 November 2005) was a Northern Irish football player best known for his years with Manchester United. He was a winger whose game combined pace, acceleration, balance, two-footedness, goalscoring and the ability to beat defenders.[1] In 1968, his annus mirabilis, he won the European Cup with Manchester United, and was named the European Footballer of the Year. When fit, he was an automatic choice for the Northern Ireland team, but he was unable to lead them to the FIFA World Cup tournament.

George Murphy (1902-1992) was an American actor and politician. Murphy was a song-and-dance leading man in many big-budget Hollywood musicals from 1930 to 1952. During World War II, he organised entertainment for American troops. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1944 to 1946 and received an honorary Oscar in 1951. Murphy served as a U.S. Senator from California from 1965 to 1971, the first notable American actor to be elected to statewide office in California, predating Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
George Lloyd Murphy was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1902. He was the son of Catholic Irish immigrants. His father was the American track and field trainer and coach Michael Charles 'Mike' Murphy, and the former Nora Long. George graduated from Yale University and worked to support himself. He first worked as a toolmaker for Ford, later in the mines and as a real estate agent, and finally as a dancer in various discotheques. In the mid-1920s, Murphy moved to New York City. There he met his first wife, Juliette Henkel, whom he married in 1926. They had two children, a son, Dennis, and a daughter, Melissa. He made his Broadway debut as a member of the chorus in 'Good News' (1927) and performed in three other Broadway shows - 'Hold Everything!', 'Of Thee I Sing', and 'Roberta'. After retiring from the stage, Murphy moved with his family to Hollywood, where talking pictures had replaced silent films. He made his Hollywood debut in Kid Millions (Roy Del Ruth, Willy Pogany, 1934), starring Eddie Cantor. Murphy appeared with Shirley Temple in Little Miss Broadway (Irving Cummings, 1938) and with Judy Garland in Little Nellie Kelly (Norman Taurog, 1940). He became known as a song-and-dance man and appeared in many big-budget musicals, such as Broadway Melody of 1938 (Roy Del Ruth, 1937), Broadway Melody of 1940 (Norman Taurog, 1940), in which he danced with Fred Astaire, and For Me and My Gal (Busby Berkeley, 1942) with Judy Garland. After switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in 1939, he became a close political ally of Ronald Reagan, with whom he appeared in This Is the Army (Michael Curtiz, 1943).
During World War II, George Murphy primarily appeared in Propaganda films aimed at boosting the morale of US troops. Among these films were The Navy Comes Through (A. Edward Sutherland, 1942), and Bataan (Tay Garnett, 1943) with Robert Taylor. From 1944 to 1946, Murphy served as president of the Screen Actors Guild. His final film was the Film Noir Walk East on Beacon (Alfred L. Werker, 1952). By then, Murphy had been cast in approximately 50 feature films. Although his work was mostly limited to relatively unknown films, he received an honorary Oscar in 1951 for his contributions to the film industry. From 1958 to 1961, he served as vice president of the film production company Desilu. In the late 1950s, Murphy became increasingly involved in politics. He served three times - in 1952, 1956, and 1960 - as head of entertainment for the televised inaugurations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. In the early 1960s, Murphy became chairman of the Republican Party of California and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1964. He served a six-year term in the Senate before leaving office in January 1971. His autobiography, 'Say. . . Didn’t You Used to Be George Murphy?' was published in 1970. Murphy was thus the first actor to pursue a political career and was considered a role model by Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. During his time in office, Murphy was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, which necessitated surgery to remove his larynx. As a result of the surgery, he had difficulty speaking for the rest of his life. George Murphy retired from public life, which he shared with his second wife, Bette Blandi, whom he married in 1982. They left California and moved to Palm Beach, where he died of leukaemia in 1992, two months before his 90th birthday.

I was astonished to come across this statue of George C. Marshall on Oslo's waterfront. I know I would not be able to pick him out in a police lineup, yet here is the great statesman and soldier and architect of Europe's post-WWII reconstruction many thousands of miles from his native Pennsylvania.
When Merkel and other European leaders angst over the death of the trans-Atlantic alliance, they're thinking of the example set by George C. Marshall and other great Americans like him.
