WHO: Mary Tudor and George Luz WHAT: much needed friend for Mary WHERE: some random park
While it was true that George barely made it through high school back home, as far as he was concerned he had every right to be: being part of a family with ten kids wasn't easy and in the Depression most kids tried to focus more on earning some extra money than school.
But here, George could actually get a proper education-or so he would if the semester was still in. Call him crazy, but he was still old fashioned enough to believe that summers were to be spent outside enjoying the weather-not inside buried in books. Especially since coming back from Bastigone, he was going to take advantage of the warm and sunny weather while he could.
He also got a dog. George had always wanted one as a boy, but with so many kids already his parents didn't want to waste food on one, but here he could adopt a dog of his own and not worry about the expenses of taking care of him.
That day found him in the park, playing frisbee with his new buddy Trigger 2 (he couldn't name him Trigger-that name was already taken by another great dog).
