'Thanks, George' ((undated clipping for a Coeur d'Alene newspaper)
George Alexander, who resides at 1520 N. 17th, is the closest neighbor to the Coeur d'Alene General hospital and certainly one of the longest and best friends of the hospital.
Since his retirement from the lumber business he expends his interest and much of his spare time in behalf of the hospital.
He is considered the faithful attendant of the American flag which is seen flying regularly in the hospital compound. He checks the hospital heating plant regularly, and is regarded as the special odd-job mechanic.
In "no time at all," say hospital personnel, he will re-hang a door for the benefit of the nursing staff or provide a hand railing for the convenience of the upper circle women of the hospital auxiliary who do special sewing at the hospital.
Let even a complicated piece of hospital equipment require adjustment, "Let George Do It", and lo and behold it will be done well.
Alexander came to Coeur d'Alene in 11907 from Illinois. He first began work here with a sash and door factory, and for 45 years was a retail lumberman, working for the former Blackwell Lumber Co. and later for the retail department in the yard of Potlatch Forests, Inc.
Paul Shipman, hospital administrator, sums up George Alexander as "our beloved hospital friend,"
