So good that you took this picture and shared. I, like others, missed seeing him on the square & will hope his health improves.

It always made me smile to see George dancing around the square engaging the crowd.

I'd like to thank him for his service to our country, thank him for making me smile and wish him a speedy recovery so that he can be back on the square doing what he loves.

Praying for George, he is a terrific guy whom I have talked with several times. Missed him at the square this year.

Have not had the privilege of meeting him or seeing him dance, but what a pleasure to pray for someone who has brought so much joy to others. Hope all goes well for him and that he will be back on the squares and putting smiles on other's faces in no time. Thanks for sharing.

I watched him dance with a lady in a wheelchair once. I don't know if she was his wife or a friend, but when it was time to leave the square, he pushed her wheelchair. I don't really know what it was about that scene that touched me, but it did. I started to ask if I could take their picture, but decided it looked too much like a private moment.

Wishing him well!!

For George: ~ An Old Celtic Blessing ~
May the blessing of light be on you—
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
till it glows like a great peat fire. (Guiness of course)
