Dear Sharon and Family,
I'm sorry this is late. I have a wonderful memory. It was 1999 and Leo (Gorenstein)and I were leaving for Asia. George was considering publishing the whole of the CASE tests in Substance. He gave Leo a copy of the math portion. What a pitiful test!
Leo gave it to travelers while abroad. There was a business woman who failed it, a journalist who barely passed and a young woman who was a statistics major we met while hiking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. She, of course, passed it, but said, "Wow, this is hard! I can't believe it was given to high school freshmen!"
Leo wrote the story, George published it and the rest of the tests and paid the price, losing his teaching job.
I have met few people ( actually no one else!) in my life whose morals are unshaken, even if it means jeopardizing career, family and friends. George was the one. We need George Schmidts in this world, especially now...they are few and far between.
Sharon and Family, I'm praying for you during this time,

To Dan and Schmidt family.
As a Whitney Young baseball dad I loved watching the games with George. He was so into the games and watched with great understanding. He was totally devoted to Dan's performances and was committed to the teams success.
My deepest condolences.
Dan, I hope you are doing well, and we wish you all the best from the Friedman - Whitney Young baseball family.

George made a great contribution to the struggle for justice. He also helped mentor me when I was figuring out how to do my job as union delegate at my school. I want to send my condolences to his family. Thank you, George, for all you have done to help make the world a better place. We will miss you. We will keep up the fight!

I am so sorry to learn of George's death. He used to bring his dad to visit my mom and fellow postal retiree when he visited Chicago. We all enjoyed George's lively conversation and spirit. My condolences to his entire family, especially Joan, whom I remember so well from school.
