Home Delivered Milk and Ambitious Little George

 

This morning THE TODAY SHOW had an article about home milk delivery, like back in old times, but now.  They went around with a milk delivery man in Seatle and saw his friendly relationships with his customers.  He liked them and they liked him.

I thought they no longer have home milk delivery  in Cobb County.

However, my mind instantly reminded me of the times they did.

Sealtest delivered our milk by George.

I think George was self-employed milkman driver.  My sister Frances was his bookkeeper.  She called him “Little George.”

George was ambitious.  He ended up owning an insurance agency.

He also joined the Republican Party and became a county commisser.  I know, our neighborhood organization wanted to have the county put in speed bumps on our street and Commissioner George  came to a meeting to hear our complaints.  He advised against speed bumps.  He remembered me.

Not long after that he moved into our neighborhood.

He got drunk at a UGA Game in Athens and became loud and vocal.  After that his reputation went down hill.  It was believed he was an alcoholic.

He died young.
