1946: GEORGE C. GREEN, LAMBERTVILLE

RAY PASZKIEWICZ: PER YOUR REQUEST, HERE'S AN ENLARGED COPY OF THE ARTICLE THAT WAS TOO SMALL TO READ. SORRY FOR THE GOOF, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW ILLEGIBLE THE ARTICLE WAS.

Had he known the artist Norman Rockwell, George Green could well have been the
subject of one Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post covers. As I remember him, he was usually outfitted in an old fashioned pair of overalls, and was rightly proud of his 1904 curved dash Oldsmobile "one lunger." Back in the 1960's I had the pleasure of meeting that affable gentleman, and he loved to tell the stories of the many trips he took on his antique and beautiful original Oldsmobile. Any of my generation who were into antique automobiles will tell of their encounters with George. Even his garage in Lambertville fit into the antiquarian category.

Hi Tom, Can you blow up the George Green article? I'm unable to read it. I have a few comments about it, but I have to see what is in the article and can't quite make out all of the words. Thanks, Ray Paszkiewicz
