He graduated from Edison High School and remained involved with his alumni group, maintaining many long-term friendships from his elementary and high school years. George spent the next seven years attending the University of Oklahoma where he earned a Bachelor's degree in journalism and a law degree (JD). He joined the Army National Guard during his college years and served six years. He started his training as a medic and ended up serving in the Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG). After graduation, George began practicing law in 1968 with his father and then later by himself for 54 years. George was still practicing law at the time of his death, because he wanted to continue to help others. On June 3, 1968, the day after he graduated from law school, George married Iris Whittaker. They had two daughters, Elizabeth and Katharine, and they remained happily married for 54 years. George was an avid book collector and lover of books.
