With love from Mary, George's wife and forever best friend.
"I had never been to a bar in my life." That's where Mary met George 53 years ago, which led to dinner at 2:00 a.m. at a Chinese restaurant — completely forgetting she was supposed to be somewhere 10 hours prior. She met her best friend and the love of her life.
