A kindly matron took pity on him and taught him to read.

At the age of 15, George ran away from the orphanage, making his way west. He spent time in Rapid City, SD, working on a farm and when the urge hit him again, headed West ending up in Cheyenne, Wy. There he got a job working in a hotel restaurant and meeting the owner's daughter. They were eventually married and started their family.

Years later, he went to Portland to rescue his oldest daughter and made a trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon. He was able to see Haystack Rock, and taste the salty water of the Pacific Ocean.
