E really was a gardener at heart. And he was great at it. We used to walk the grounds. We’d have some tea and then walk the whole perimeter, and he’d show me what he had just planted. The way my mind worked was to go, ‘Wow, that’s beautiful, those flowers are fantastic. But look over there, George. That’s where I would get in…’ He’d say, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, ‘Look at the gaps in the fence, George. You should have dogs or some kind of security.’ He’d say he didn’t want
dogs shitting everywhere! Those were our conversations sometimes, and I always thought about that after the attack in 1999.
