Fighting George Leads Garden Club Rocks To Park Path
Muscatine Garden club members staged a comic morning operation to haul rocks for a Weed Park wildflower preserve path. Leader George Zoller, known as Fighting George, organized Cols Clyde Rabedeaux Robert Roach and E W Root for a plan that borrowed a tank to move rocks from Northern Gravel to the park. A detailing crew then placed the rocks along the paths while committee members thanked the rescuers. The episode ends with a kangaroo court for some involved, though Meerink seeks to avoid misnaming him as Fighting George.
