    I ,too,was very saddened to hear of Geoge's passing. As my husband
    stated,such a wonderful,gentle,elegant person. It was priviledge to
    have taken several rendering classes and a waxing class taught by
    him at the Revere Academy years ago.  Even now, as I teach evening
    casting class in Castro Valley,I still incorporate his tricks on
    drawing as well as wax work. One of the best tricks he taught was
    taking a sewing needle, putting the sharp point into a small piece
    of wood(chop stick, short pencil etc.)  to form the handle and
    making this into a minature spatula tool-using the eye of the needle
    to hold the wax.  It can be any size of needle-whatever fits the
    project. The ultimate way to work on or build prongs in wax And you
    can build small beads with it..  Tante grazie,George!!!! We shall
    miss you and have been blessed to have had you in our lives,both as
    teacher & friend..Our sympathy to your family.  Sincerely, Jo-Ann
    Maggiora Donivan
