George Frederick Gallup, LL.B.
Catlettsburg, Kentucky
Delta Chi; Phi Alpha Delta; Ex-Service Men's Club; Henry Clay; Acadian; Associate Editor Kentucky Law Journal (3).
One of his lawyer friends turned in a write-up for George, but it was so good we couldn't use it. We knew it would embarrass him to have all his good qualities exposed to the cruel gaze of the public. We prefer simply to say that this former Marine is a doggone good fellow.
