At tens years old I remember Georges sweet shooting at Paulin's practices. One practice a wag referred to him as "Goose Grease George", so smooth was his shot It was always a pleasure running into him and Gladys. He was a true gentleman. - Posted by: Jim Bulloch (Basketball fan and early neighbour to Gladys) on: Jan 21, 2018
