- GEORGE
RONY was a voracious reader of history. He left
behind an impressive library of books, many of
which are no longer in print. However, since his
passing more than three decades ago, many
superlative new texts have been written and
fictional accounts have been filmed about the
tumultous years and experiences of WWI and WWII.

could. Here is a scroll of honor so
far as I have been able to preserve
it..
