George Baron was a Rye High School graduate, class of 1948. His yearbook quote described him as having a “carburetor for a heart”, and included the phrase “Semper Paratus”, which translates to “Always Ready.” George appears to have been introverted as he participated in no clubs or sports at RHS and also did not win any awards or class office positions. After graduation George enlisted in the U.S. Army and fought in the Korean War. He passed away at the age of 89 on February 8th 2018 in Annapolis, Maryland.
