George has the best reason why their marriage worked: "Dinah and I enjoy being together'
package she may have picked up in town. You don't have to be a Montana Scout to tell where she has been and what she's been doing.
"But poised she is, although I must admit I haven't spent much time analyzing her. We just accept each other. To me, her poise is just a bit of naturalness that takes hold of her at a given situation."
George has his moments too of being — well, a little on the impulsive or disorganized side.
George, Dinah, and Missy were going to New York a couple of years ago. Missy's hair kept getting in her eyes so George said, "Let's cut it!"
Nobody did anything, so a day or so later as Missy was again pushing her hair out of the way, he said very firmly, "That does it!" He thereupon grabbed the scissors and whacked off the bangs.

When we were in Europe recently, I bought a dozen paintings so maybe a few will turn out to be treasures of the future. If they don't, it doesn't matter. We like them and enjoy looking at them anyway."
