Sarah Buntin says “The Memorial for our most senior member George Park 97 years old, was one he would have been proud! He was celebrated sent off to join other members we have lost over the last few years, by our WOTFA Fiddler’s send off, with music and song. We could almost hear them playing together for George as he arrived. Him singing I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill, Danny Boy and Angeline The Baker. He will be sorely missed and will always have a special place in our Memories and Hearts.”
