Remembering A Good Man

Many of you were in attendance for the Memorial Service of long time ALVMA member Dr. George Millis (Auburn 1973) of Montgomery who passed away Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Dr. Millis was a highly respected member of the Montgomery veterinary community and a long time member of the Alabama Veterinary Medical Association. He gave of his time and talents in many ways. George mentored high school students (I had the privilege of being one of these fortunate individuals) through
