KING: Man has been
an entertainer for
more than 60 years
Continued from page 3
By this time, the Chinese
had intervened in the con-
flict and UN forces had been
pushed back again down the
peninsula.
<When the sea ebbed, so
did the river, so technically
you were stuck on a mudbank
in the middle of the river with
the Chinese firing on one side
and the Koreans firing on the
other,= King recalled. <And
of course, you were sitting
ducks. Crazy. Frightening.
Very frightening. We lost a
few people like that.=
King had met a young
woman named Joan Ann dur-
ing his stint in the Navy, and
he left the service to marry
her.
<You don9t have family life
in the Navy,= he said. <You9re
away all the time.=
Despite having come back
from war <a nervous wreck=
by his own estimation, King
built a successful life for him-
self in the insurance business.
He remembers Joan Ann,
whom he lost to cancer, with
great fondness.
Aside from family, his
great passion in life has been
music and performance.
<I have been entertaining
for over 60 years,= he said.
<At the moment, I9m with two
choirs and an opera group.=
He9s performed with the
Bristol Light Opera Club,
doing Gilbert & Sullivan
material and the like 4 which
he delights in.
<I9ve thoroughly enjoyed
it,= he said. <It9s been so
nice.=
Stephen King, who is well
known in the Sisters commu-
nity for his business activi-
ties and service on the Sisters
School Board, came to the
U.S. from the Channel Islands
with a company he was work-
ing with.
<That9s when we lost
him,= his father said with a
wry smile.
George has been visiting
the U.S. once a year since. He
greatly enjoys Sisters.
<I love it here,= he said.
<I love going around the
area. We go to the Rodeo, of
course. I always enjoy it.=
The Kings attend Sisters
Episcopal Church of the
Tr a n s f i g u r a t i o n , w h e r e
George feels most welcomed.
<It9s very nice,= he said.
You get to know everybody.
Very nice indeed.=
