Default Please keep George Purtill in your thoughts

In speaking with George Purtill, one of our founding members, today, he shared that he is quite ill. He chose not to go into detail, but I'm sure he'd appreciate our keeping him in our thoughts, and include him in your prayers. Please respect his privacy, and I will share any news he chooses to give me.

He will be in my prayers. Met him a few times at the New years shoot and enjoyed his company and wear the PGCA name tag he had made up on my shooting vest. When asked about it i say it is my return to label.

George has been one of my best friends in the PGCA. I spoke with him only about two months ago but he never alluded to a health issue other than his periodic trips to Boston for a chronic health situation that had been going on for a decade.

We kinda lost the frequency of our communication after Kathy’s cancer diagnosis.
Thanks for the notice Edgar.
I’m praying for you George.
