He became a fruit buyer and worked in packinghouses around the country, arriving in California in 1915. There he met his wife, Beth, whom he married in 1917 in San Bernardino. They settled in Washington state for a few years and then moved to Long Beach where George went into the battery business and later worked for the Navy housing authority, while his wife, a very capable businesswoman, dealt in furs and orange groves. | He became a fruit buyer and worked in packinghouses around the country, arriving in California in 1915.

George had the quality most cherished by [[El Morya]]—constancy. Once he found the [[Great White Brotherhood]] in 1961, he attended every conference thereafter and accompanied the messengers on their trips to India, the Middle East, and South America. He would rise every morning between two and three o’clock, greet the masters, and decree until six, when he would go about his duties at the Cherokee Mobile Home Park in Anaheim, which he ran with his wife, Beth. The park was a model of beauty and efficiency in which they both took pride; and in later years, George especially enjoyed tending the garden which provided his famous tomatoes and a wide assortment of vegetables to all his neighbors and friends. | George had the quality most cherished by [[El Morya]]—constancy.

George took seriously the dictation of [[Archangel Gabriel]] given in San Francisco on August 12, 1979, in which he admonished: “If you would ascend, you must confess your sin, repent of your sin, then cease sinning.... And do not withhold from God or from the messenger any compromise of the Law or of the Path.” One day George called Elizabeth and said, “I’ve got to come to Camelot so you can hear my confession of all the things I have done in this life so that my conscience and my record will be clear, and you can make calls for me for the clearance of these things.” | George took seriously the dictation of [[Archangel Gabriel]] given in San Francisco on August 12, 1979, in which he admonished: “If you would ascend, you must confess your sin, repent of your sin, then cease sinning....

Quite certain that George was already a saint, Elizabeth nevertheless happily conceded to hear his confession. Though George himself was the humble penitent with heartfelt regret for the wrongs he felt he had committed against his wife or family members or friends, Elizabeth could see only the light and the glory of God and the holy angels who kept the vigil with him. She made the calls, as he requested, for the [[violet flame]] and the law of forgiveness and saw the records of these events so burdensome to George slip into the all-consuming fire of God’s love. | Quite certain that George was already a saint, Elizabeth nevertheless happily conceded to hear his confession.

One of the earliest memories we have of Uncle George after he joined the Summit took place at [[Holy Tree House]] in Virginia and earned him the nickname of “Fire Chief” forever! On a windy day just before a conference, George was burning paper trash in the backyard when all at once the grasses caught fire, moving in the direction of the woods. For about forty-five minutes, all hands were on deck with every available hose to douse the flames. We would never forget it and he never lived it down, but now it seems prophetic of the moment when his soul, ablaze with the living flame of Love, is about to ignite a world. | One of the earliest memories we have of Uncle George after he joined the Summit took place at [[Holy Tree House]] in Virginia and earned him the nickname of “Fire Chief” forever!
