CDs by George | ||
In 2005, George recorded a collection of tales he told his children years ago, at their request "Daddy, tell us some stories about back when you were alive!" The CD is available for purchase for $15 at various Topeka bookstores and coffee shops. Contact George for details. | ||

The photographs illustrate the times
and scenes narrated in the stories. George's parents worked the farm
for a full decade, from 1929 til 1939, without making any profit, raising
four children while subsisting on a variety of home-grown products and
bartering. George's younger brother's grandson, Aaron, still runs the
Paris farm today. |
