  • Paying Respects– Before the War George barbered and ran the poolroom in Strasbourg. George's wife Grace was a hairdresser in Strasbourg. After George was killed, Grace continued as a hairstylist and raised their son Del. Grace's business and residence was next door to our Uncle Hal & Aunt Marie's hotel and they became best friends with Grace. Over the years when we visited Strasbourg we often heard of the Mollison family's loss. In 2017 we able to pay tribute by visiting George's grave in Holland.
