George Andrew McNamara (1886-1952) won a Stanley Cup as a member of Eddie Livingstone's 1913-14 Toronto Blueshirts of the National Hockey Association. Two years later, in June 1916, he was commissioned as a Captain in the 228th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force. He played a leading role in arranging to have a 228th Bn hockey team, the 'Northern Fusiliers', included in the NHA for the 1916-17 season. Another member of that team was George's brother Howard. After landing in Europe in early 1917, and because a good number of the battalion's officers and men had railway experience, the 228th was reconstituted as the 6th Railway Battalion, working in railway construction for the war's duration.
The McNamara brothers were rough and tough, often paired as defencemen and known widely as the 'Dynamite Twins' though George was actually three years older than Howard.
George was a successful coach as well as player and was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958.

Photographic evidence of my geekiness. This was taken outside of a class at UCLA (not at some Star Trek gathering), though you wouldn't know that from what he's doing and what I'm wearing.

You used to be able to relax under the shade of a tree in George square. There are only a few left. I could never understand why they got rid of them for concerts and events. Maybe I'm getting old!

A statue of a younger George Washington stands outside his headquarters in Winchester, VA.
George Washington used a little log building as a military office from September 1755 to December of 1756 while Fort Loudoun was being constructed at the north end of town. Winchester played an important role in George Washington’s early adult life; his military and political career began here. As a young man of sixteen, he came to the area to begin what he thought would be his life’s profession, surveying. With the earnings from his surveying business he was able to buy a number of acres around Frederick County and also a lot in the town that enabled him to serve as a Burgess from Frederick County 1758-1765. During the French and Indian War, he commanded the Virginia Regiment from his headquarters in Winchester.

Standing statue of George Washington in his younger years when he was a major. He is wearing a long overcoat, trousers and tall boots. He is holding his hat in one hand and his musket in his other. The bronze sculpture was sculpted by Susan Luery in 2007-2008. The statue is standing on a stone base with plaques commemorating different times George Washington was in the Cumberland area.
Inscription of plaques:
1748
At the age of sixteen, George Washington first visited Allegany County, (then Frederick County), and was the guest of Thomas Cresap, at Oldtown. He had been employed by Col. Wm. Fairfax to survey the valleys of Patterson Creek and the South Branch of the Potomac, part of the vast tract of land of which Fairfax was proprietor
1753
In order to settle a territory dispute between England and France over land in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Virginia governor Dinwiddie ordered Major Washington to Wills Creek (Cumberland), then on to Fort Leboef (near Erie, Pa.) to deliver an order of withdrawal of the French from English-claimed territory. The French refused to leave, asserting possession by prior claim.
1754
Washington, now a Lt. Colonel, was ordered to lead a company of Virginia militia to the Forks of the Monongahela and Allegany Rivers to build and defend a fort. New of a takeover of the site by the French compelled Washington to convene a War Council at Wills Creek. It was decided to lead his company on, finally engaging the French at Fort Necessity. A superior French army defeated the Virginia militia, allowing the survivors to return East.
1755
Responding to the refusal to accept the British claim, English Gen. Edward Braddock was ordered to America. Washington was assigned to his staff. The British expeditionary force assembled on this site. French defenders at Ft. Duquesne (Pittsburgh) prepared an ambush which succeeded in defeating the British force. Braddock was mortally wounded. The survivors were led back to Ft. Cumberland by George Washington
1758
With a new Prime Minister in England, Wm. Pitt, a new effort was launched to conquer Fort Duquesne. General John Forbes was assigned as Commander. Virginia militia was mustered here at Fort Cumberland and command by Colonel Washington. His troops joined Forbes at Raystown, (Bedford, Pa), then marched to defeat the French at Ft. Duquesne, which was renamed Ft. Pitt.
President Washington's Last Visit - 1794
On October 16, 1794, President George Washington arrived in Cumberland to review about 5,000 troops of the Maryland and Virginia militia gathered here during the Whiskey Rebellion. A few days later, this militia army assembled upon the parade ground of old Fort Cumberland, where the Allegany County Courthouse now stands. The President appeared dressed in his full military uniform, and the entire population of the town was present to witness the historic event. General Washington rode along the line from right to left, and was loudly cheered by the men. Afterwards the command marched in review, and Washington raised his hat as a salute, while they passed. Generals Harry Lee and Daniel Morgan also were present and participated.
Fort George leaving the dock via Langton River Entrance. There was a massive scar along the starboard side but whether this was an old wound or a new one I couldn't say. Less paint for the dismantlers to worry about I suppose.
What a terribly sad story. George Washington was a gifted turf horse, why did they bring him back from retirement to run on dirt, or should I say SLOP! It is absolutely ridiculous that a race such as the BC or any race for that matter is to be run on an unsafe and unstable surface. I was absolutely disgusted when I saw photos of the track conditions at Monmouth, the track officials were up to their ankles in mud and slop.
It’s just not good enough, when is this going to stop?
There are safer alternatives to dirt racing, like the synthetic tracks, Poly Track, Cushion Track, Pro-Ride and Tapeta. California have mandated that all big race tracks must install a synthetic surface by 2008. When is everybody else going to follow? I know these surfaces are quite costly but if it is saving the lives of horses and cutting down the injury rates I believe that these synthetics are a worthy investment. Also if I were a trainer or an owner there is no way that I would allow my horse to run on a track that is obviously unsafe for the horse. Why do they let it happen.
I mean honestly look at the pic’s of the track from the BC, come on who in their right mind would risk running a horse on that mess. It is time for change.
