MR. GEORGE BUTTERFIELD

In 1968, George replaced Ken Green as the MHS band, jazz band and orchestra instructor.  He is remembered fondly.  George was more than just a teacher.  He took a student shopping for marching shoes when his family could not afford them, and he got a 15 year-old drummer his first paying gig.  In the mid-1970’s Mr. Butterfield left the Music Department and went on to teach World Culture and State Requirements until the mid-1980’s when he left the teaching profession and went into sales.  He passed away some 15-20 years ago, after leaving MHS.  Cause of death is unknown.
