• • • Recollections of George Kilbride

My beautiful wife and 4 lovely children have given my life meaning and purpose, with even more joy as grandchildren and great grandchildren expanded our family.

Famous people write their autobiographies which are of interest to a great number of people. I, on the other hand, have done nothing which will be found in history books or that has had an effect on many people. I just want to record some of the events and experiences in my life that may be of interest to some of my friends and relatives. I only hope that what I have done in my life, may have had a positive effect on the lives of those with whom I have come in contact with.
Peace,
George
