THE BLUE AND WHITE GEORGE ALBERT PLANCHON Lefty has acquired much of his knowledge of mechanics from the work he has done on his five or six cars. This no doubt inspired his enlistment in the Navy V-6 Program. George liked very much to fly as we could all see, but his affections for dancing and roller skating were also well displayed.
