Hi George, I enjoyed your second book (Although I realize you may not have written all of it, but the very great career was yours alone and the Kudos are well-earned.

Hi everyone. I am so grateful for all your kind comments about my career and book. Eve did a great job pointing out some of the highlights. I had no idea there would be such a great response including an hour long line up in the Semiahmoo Mall in White Rock.
A few things coming up. I will bring a few books to the RPM old radio folk hosted by Red Robinson at the White Spot on West Georgia, Tuesday, April 2nd.
Later that day I will be interviewed live in the CKNW Talk Show Studio by host Lynda Steele. 4:35 PM.

Book signings coming up:
Chapters – Coquitlam – Wed, April 3rd – 7 PM
Black Bond – Ladner – Sat, April 13th – 1 PM
Black Bond – Semiahmoo Mall – Sun – May 4th – 1:30 PM

Hope to see many of you!

Thanks again, I’m humbled.

Will George be having any more book signings? I left for Florida on the 9th March when he had one scheduled for White Rock. I purchased his book at the Airport and read it on the Flight. It was excellent.

If not mistaken, George got several teeth knocked out covering a riot. If so, the incident is probably worth its own chapter in the book. I dimly remember George may have been down in Los Angeles when public disturbances broke out. And he rushed to file a story with NW.

George Garrett’s name is revered in news media. One of the best journalists, and always a gentleman. I am so glad he’s alive to read all the good things being said about him! Congratulations on your book, George!

I started listening to NW in the late 80s. I worked a 6pm till 4am shift Mon To Fri driving around the lower mainland. Every night from Richmond to N Van to White Rock Langley Surrey Port Moody.
NW ran David Berner from 8 to Midnight and Stirling Faux fro Midnight till 4 am. George Garrett was a fixture and was surrounded by a cast and crew that kept NW on top for many years.

George was one of the best reporters I ever saw. He knew everything and everybody. He broke so damn many stories.

And he’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
