Rites of Spring festival

I meet George Rolden at his home in Coatesville Philadelphia.

George politely and magnanimously welcomed us in on this somewhat chilly December night. Under Jill’s advise we had packed our bags to stay-over at his humble abode; a long drive back up to Jersey just wouldn’t work in the thick snow.
