George D. Schultz

The Author

George D. Schultz

 

 

George D. Schultz was born in Detroit, Michigan on December 22, 1931. He has sired seven children – all of whom have, according to our George, “turned out magnificently”.

 

He has lived in Detroit; in San Marcos and San Antonio, Texas; in Deans and Metuchen, New Jersey; in Buffalo, New York; and in Houston, Texas.

 

In his life, he has worked in the rent-a-car field and in the consumer finance business!  An editor and writer, he has sold literally thousands of short stories — and is currently working on a "romance" novel, under the name of Aimee Stordahl.  If you blunder upon a Harlequin or Silhouette book written by the lovely and glamorous Aimee, you can say, "I knew her when she was George Schultz".

 

His entire legal education stemmed from reading, probably, a hundred books by Earle Stanley Gardner (as well as those he’d written under the name of A.A. Fair).  He was also an inveterate reader of the Brett Halliday Michael Shayne novels.  Other favorites were The Caine Mutiny and Tales of The South Pacific.

 

During his four years the U.S. Navy (can you picture HIM protecting YOU?) he served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as managing the Posting Preparation Section at the Fleet Aviation Accounting Office, on the sprawling Naval Air Station, at Norfolk, Virginia.  (He also moonlighted as a disc jockey — Your Hour of Schultz — Mondays through Fridays — on radio station WNAS.)

 

As a child, he was a voracious listen-to-the-radio kid.  Was totally hung up on such "masterpieces" as Captain Midnight, Terry & The Pirates, Don Winslow of The Navy, Tennessee Jed, Jack Armstong and (of all things) Hop Harrigan.  He still remembers Jack, Doc & Reggie — Oogie Pringle and Corliss Archer too.

 

His life is one big nostalgic production.  Hopefully, you’ll want to share his memories of a much "kinder, gentler" epoch — as well as "The Last True Romantic Period" in the United States, World War II.
