George's Story
Life
I graduated from NCE (now NJIT) with a BS in Chemical Engineering in 69, from NYU with an MS in Meteorology in 70, and from Rutgers with a Ph.D. in Environmental Science in 74. I worked as an engineer for a government agency in New York City for four years before moving to Michigan to take a position as an Atmospheric Research Scientist with General Motors Research Laboratories.

oard and served as Chair of EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee. In 2008, I retired from GM and now work from my home as an Environmental Consultant with Air Improvement Resource, Inc. in Michigan.
At Rutgers, I met my beautiful wife, Carol Ann Wirth, who was getting an MS in Environmental Science. She was from Haddonfield, NJ and had a BS in Biology from Immaculata College in PA. She is an Environmental Consultant. We married in 1972 and have 3 lovely daughters: Elaine, Meg and Kristen. Elaine is a Public Health expert with the Department of Interior in DC, Meg is a Pediatrician in Ann Arbor, MI, and Kristen is a Patent Attorney in California.
We reside in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and when time allows, relax at a house we built on the shore on northern Lake Michigan near Harbor Springs, MI.
