Raking George's leaves and feeding Knute

George Anderson's former neighbor, Dave Erickson, with granddaughter Malia and daughter-in-law Stacey at home in Washington State.

Stan,
Thanks for highlighting our Junior High principal, George Anderson.
In my adolescent perception, he was a pretty stern principal and I didn’t even think of doing anything at Central that would have landed me in his office.
It seems that being a principal brought out his game face because he wasn’t that way at his home/resort.

Neighbors on Lake Louise
My family was neighbors on Lake Louise with his family near the Darling Dude Ranch and so I grew up raking his huge lawn (that later became the part of the ninth hole fairway and green at the par three golf course) each year in the spring and feeding his Shetland pony named Knute when the family would be away.
The last time I talked with him was in 1972 when I was home from college at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. As a pastor, I talked with him at length about his involvement at Calvary Lutheran Church where I was confirmed and his mission trips to Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. He didn’t have his game face on then either and I cherish those memories of a man who helped shape some of the things I value.
