In your “Thoughts from the Publisher” column dated March 30, you wrote about the customer service you received at Café Bixby, an excellent place to dine.
I would like to tell you about the customer service I received at Georgie’s, which is across the street from Café Bixby. My friends and I have been going to Georgie’s practically since he opened.
Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and started chemo in February of 2011 which lasted five months. During that time I lost my appetite, one of the side effects of chemo, and was losing weight rapidly. Of course my dear friends were constantly on me to eat, eat, eat. Georgie became very concerned about me and one night told me, “I’ll fix you up.” He brought me a bowl of his homemade Greek chicken rice soup. I could actually taste it and ate it all. I lived on that soup all during my chemo and radiation treatments. Whenever Georgie was at his place of business, which was most of the time, he saw to it that I had a container of soup to take home.
What a kind and caring person he is, and I hope he knows how much I appreciated his concern.
(By the way, my last radiation treatment was Nov. 15, 2011, and the cancer is gone!)
