The legendary Ms. Doris Patrao is not on Facebook but asked me to post this for her: "I had Thanksgiving dinner with George and Michael in 2005--that night, hunched over as he was and trembling from his insidious disease, he reminded me that although I am a cynic, I always wear a heart on a chain. His made his point: I am simply a fallen romantic; he said and felt what most were never able to. I kissed him on the cheek and said thank you--it takes one to know one. I will forever cherish his passion for music, for his students, for his colleagues, for his friends, for the "show"--always the "show." He heard, he saw, he yelled, he sang, he felt, he challenged, he laughed... and he believed. And we are all richer for having shared in George's dreams and inspirations."
