I've spoken with George a number of times recently and his kind are certainly "few and far between".
Burt Spiller said to George, words to the effect... "Send each member of the "Ancient and Honorable Brush Worn Partridge Hunters" a page from my manuscript of Grouse Feathers" .... Burt was so humble and kind and had no real idea how many people he deeply touched with his book Grouse Feathers..... he just didn't have any idea how important his book was...
Well, George King is so much like Spiller in this regard it is just very, very remarkable - birds of a "Feather" so to speak.
