Through a Givealittle page Jack has raised about half the $2500 he estimates he needs for an initial print run of 100 to 200 copies. “I’m extremely happy that people have given who used to be, or still are customers, as well as current owner Bob Mason and staff,” Jack said. He said a former brewery representative in the 1990s, who is now a publican in Invercargill, had also contributed. Mason said he thought the book was a great idea. Jack also applied for funding through Creative NZ but did not meet the criteria as it is the first book he has written.

Georgette Gee” (Nahom) Morey went home to the Lord on Christmas Eve. She fought a valiant battle against the horrible Covid-19 virus and ultimately succumbed to it. Her family is truly heartbroken but can take comfort that they were blessed with a very strong mother, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, and friend who taught them many things in life, especially in terms of honor, values, and faith. Georgette was born in Danbury, CT to David and Adell Nahom on July 5, 1927.
Georgette was a bright young woman who graduated from High School at age 16 and married Emil Morey in 1947 at age 20. They worked together side by side for many years, first in the IGA grocery store they owned which had been started by Emil’s Dad, and later, in the Real Estate business which Emil created in 1953 and which ultimately grew to 5 offices in Connecticut and one in New York City.
