He spent his entire life on the family farm or in Circle. He attended Cow Creek School and graduated from Circle High School in 1958. He grew up with his parents and older  siblings from his mother\u2019s first marriage. His father died when George was eight years old and, as a teenager, he took over the farm responsibilities with his mother.<br \/>\n\t  In 1961, he married Iris Alexander.  She was from Wolf Point, but was planning a trip with her parents to visit her brothers in Puyallup, Wash. They decided marry there and honeymoon on their way home. Together, they raised four children and recently celebrated their 62nd wedding  anniversary.<br \/>\n\t  He was a born farmer. It was in his heart and his blood \u2014 once he got in the tractor  for the day, you couldn\u2019t drag him out. He passed that love to his son. He rarely got shook up at any major breakdown  or setback and would say, \u201cwell, let\u2019s just fix one thing at a time.\u201d<br \/>\n\t  He loved toy tractors and amassed quite a collection. His impressive display of tractors and other farm machinery  fills the lower level of their home.<br \/>\n\t  Every summer, from the late 1960s until 2022, he would find time before harvest  to take the family on a camping trip in the Montana mountains. The family has many wonderful memories of camping, hiking and sitting  around the campfire telling  stories and laughing until they cried.<br \/>\n\t  He was an avid pinochle <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"news-destination":[14],"news-source":[11],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59026"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59264,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59026\/revisions\/59264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59026"},{"taxonomy":"news-destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-destination?post=59026"},{"taxonomy":"news-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-source?post=59026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
