Lunch with George Hurst

[Rawhide]

I teach a lacing class once a month at the local Tandy and it's right across the street from Hidecrafter's in Ft. Worth. I figured I'd go in today and see what's new. They had just finshed their Saturday class and George was there. We talked for a minute and he and Jo Spencer invited me to lunch at the nearby diner. I have to say that lunch with George and Jo proved to be the greatest outing. I learned that George once played football for Joe Paterno at Penn State. He lived in New York and worked for Tandy for 35 years. He's a great guy, and I'm going to try and learn as much as I can from him. I feel very fortunate to be around here.

Anyway, I just had to share.

Keep poundin'!!!

The phrase "Lucky Dog" comes to mind! Remember to pass it on.

Enjoy your blessings.

I tell ya, I do feel blessed. I'm sure going to do my part...That's partly why I joined the LW, to learn and pass on. I just hope that one day, I can be half as talented as these guys.

Thanks for the welcome Damon. I look forward to meeting you. (Not sure what I can teach, but I'll show you everything that I know ) I plan on being at the guild meeting Tuesday night.

Hello Rawhide,

George is a very good friend of mine. I got to know him quite well during his and my years at Tandy. He's an extremely talented man,very knowledgeable, and a wealth of information. The leather world will probably never know how much it owes him! If you see him again soon, please pass on my greetings and best wishes. I'd heard that he had some health issues recently.....

Try riding to a trade show with George, We went to Wickenburg show, Just George and I, What stories!! I have been on several trips with him and cherish all the time we spent together during the time I worked for Hide Crafters. I really miss him! Just never ask George about the first time he met me.... George and I do still keep in touch.

Wow - that's so cool that you guys got to meet someone as talented as that! Lucky you!

Sounds like a great guy, with a lot to teach.
