George.George died of lung cancer in 1997. He
was a controversial character, and in the last
year of his life things were not always what they
seemed.
But George was one of the major people in my
life.
George was an old cowboy and logger, a part of
the old Montana. We met George in 1991, and for
the next six years George taught me how to ride,
sent me on my first solo ride, shared his love of
nature and horses with me, bought horses for me,
and showed me a part of myself that I hadn't even
realized existed.
George took me to the top of the mountain.
