Additional note on George Bailey
[edit]I tend to think that there is an article waiting to be written on George Bailey, but unfortunately, as I pointed out above, there is a copyright problem at the moment. Perhaps if you rewrote using the article as a source? FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
