The guy you see above, George Chevallier has been a dear friend of mine for many years now. George joined us years ago with open arms and has shared Eastern Shore history as a volunteer every Saturday morning on Salisbury News.
George was approached not long ago to write for someone else and they even offered to pay him for each article, George refused.
George is a man who is irreplaceable. He's a man loaded with wisdom and I want to take this moment to express my gratitude towards George for all that he has given us over all these years.
No, George isn't going anywhere. I just wanted to offer my thanks as well as give everyone else the opportunity to share their thoughts with George. He could have easily moved on to another opportunity but he instead chose to share his wealth of information with the biggest audience on the Shore.
They don't get any better than George Chevallier and you can bank on that.
TY George love your posts!

ReplyDeleteI enjoy your articles George. You are a pleasure to talk too as well.
ReplyDeleteGeorge - you are a good man. I always enjoy reading your commentary.
ReplyDeleteSo much history is almost forgot - then you rekindle my youth memories.
Thanks
Beazer
George, I often don't comment on your articles because I am not much of a commenter, but I read everyone.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not going to that other place, whatever it was. I love reading you here.
I totally agree. YOU George, make the past worth remembering. As they say..... " Thanks for the memories"
ReplyDeleteI grew up going to Salisbury to shop monthly which was like a big treat. Reading George's articles have brought back so many good memories of my younger years when I was too young to know how many bad things are in this world. Grandmom loved driving to Salisbury to shop and we had so many good times. Thanks George for all your work. Just know you are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCan't buy loyalty
ReplyDeleteMega-dittos to all the good comments.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyable columns with fun memories.
Hey buddy, we go a long way back and I need no one to tell me the type of person you are. You are a gentleman and a very honorable man. I can imagine who wanted you. Take care and keep up the good work. Love the oldies.
ReplyDeleteThanks George you have the best stories brings back some good memories!
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much George!
ReplyDeletei do enjoy those trips down memory lane. Thanks George.
ReplyDeleteWe need more people like him. A person with class, ethics and ability to share the importance of where we came from. Please keep em coming George and thank you for what you do for us every week.
ReplyDeleteLike all of the above, I want to also thank George for his wonderful memories of the earlier and better days. I know one thing for sure, if he left, my cup of coffee on Saturday morning's would never be as good as they are now while sipping and reading his posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you George. I don't care what Jim Ireton says about you. Jim is always running George down, but Jim forgets George was very instrumental in helping him get elected just like he did for Louweasel.
ReplyDeleteWe respect your decision George and truly enjoy reading your comments and viewing the pictures. Having grown up in the area even makes us more appreciative. However, you may want to consider syndication as some point, which would allow more people to enjoy your contribution.
ReplyDeleteSo Robinson tried to lure him away.
ReplyDeletethank you george. your hard word and knowledge of local history brings back great memories for all of us. great blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteA big hats off to ya Mr Chevallier, thanks for all you do!
ReplyDelete4:33, Jim Ireton didn't forget. He just used people, like Louweasel. It worked for her. He figured it would work for him and it did. Now he is trashing everyone he duped who won't follow him. Mitchell does too.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, George, and keep sharing those memories before we lose them!
Thank you, George. I read your article every Sunday morning. It is a highlight of my day. Thank you for staying with SbyNews. While I don't agree with all that is here, I am grateful that it is my right to disagree and that my opinions are valued and not demonized. If you had gone to the other publication, chances are I wouldn't have been able to continue to enjoy your writing as I don't read print or electronic media that purposefully prints lies.
ReplyDeleteGeorge: You are the best! Continue your wonderful stories of Salisbury. We enjoy them so much and it reminds us of the wonderful times we all used to have in the "ole bury" Barb and Jack
ReplyDeleteHaving spent a great deal of time sitting at Mr. Chevallier's dining room table hearing stories, I can atest, he truly is as good as it gets. My trips to Salisbury are not complete without a visit. He's an asset to this blog, and the community. And on top of that, he's pretty funny to boot. CCM
