George is a native New Mexican, born and raised in Las Cruces where he attended New Mexico State. He attended Veterinary school at Oregon State, Washington State and Idaho State. He met Jackie (an Oklahoman raised in Texas) and they were married in 1990. They were looking for a vet clinic to buy and George’s sister in Albuquerque suggested one so they came to New Mexico and purchased one. Sunrise Veterinary Clinic is on Rio Rancho Blvd and keeps George extremely busy. They are raising 3 sons and a daughter (whose wedding is in June) and started restoring cars as an activity for the whole family. They are working on a ’46 Ford and have a running ’38 that still needs a few things. Their garage is loaded with motor bikes, four wheelers, and other vehicles he and his sons are restoring. George said he joined the Tumbleweed V8 Club because he didn’t know what he was doing and wanted information on the ’46. He is happy with the club’s assistance and membership expertise. George stays active in his spare time, which isn’t much, and is suffering from the same fate as everyone who builds a car from ground up. It takes much longer than expected and costs much more than desired. But he’s pleased that he’ll know his ’46 from the ground up when completed.
