He was born in New Jersey, grew up in New York City, and spent his entire career owning and/or operating hotels in Maine and New Hampshire, including the Mt Washington Hotel and Crawford House. His father and both grandfathers died before he was two years old and he grew up with his extended family of mother, grandmother, aunts and uncles in New York City during the depression. George’s father, Henry McAvoy, was the location manager and special effects manager for Fox Films during the Silent Film era and left behind letters and photographs telling his story. At 91 George is still an active golfer and participant in the VFW, Rotary, and community.
His prior books are And Then There was One and A Citizen-Soldier Remembers 1942-1946.view less
