Dedication
Where do I start to thank all the people who have been part of my life? My parents, of course, who were there for me all the time as I chased my dream.
My wife of 50 years, Charlene, who died of cancer in 1991. She raised our two children, often alone, while I was away.
My children, George, Jr. and Terrie, who do not remember too much about my baseball career because they were so young. But they do remember their daddy was gone from home a long time. They and my grandchildren live only 20 and 30 miles from Swifton. We are very close as a family.
Terrie has taken her mother's placehostess at Christmas time. George, Jr., a gourmet cook, entertains all the family at Thanksgiving.
To Carolyn, my wife of four years, who came into my life at the right time. She is truly family. My children love her. They encourage the romance and the marriage.
I don't want to forget my lone brother, Skeeter, who played in the major leagues for a short time. He relished and supported me throughout my career. He is a very successful businessman today. He and his wife, Sue, have been married for 50 years. They have raised four wonderful childrenand I love them as if they were my own.
And certainly my thanks to the city of Swifton and all the people who have supported me in everything I've done. We all grew up here so poor, but didn't know it because everyone was poor in those days.
Thanks to Senator Dale Bumpers. We are almost like brothers. He gave the eulogy at Charlene's funeral and I know how hard it was for him.
How can I thank Dan Ewald, my close friend and confidant? He convinced me to write this book when I really didn't want to. Now I'm so glad I did. My whole life is in print forever.
Dan spent three days in Swifton. He saw my church, my school, my automobile agency and my farmland. Most of all, he met the good people here.
Now he knows why I have never left here and never will. Dan, thanks for coming.
