George Flittie ’56

George F. Flittie ’56, January 3, 2003, in Portland. George graduated with a BA in economics from 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, and received an MEd in secondary education from the University of Oregon in 1961. He taught social studies at Grant High School in Portland for many years, and was awarded a John Hay Fellowship in 1964, which he used for a year’s advanced study at Northwestern University. His teaching career also involved work as a curriculum associate for Adams High School, and as a night school director for Grant. He and his wife, Jean Anderson Flittie, raised three children, a son and two daughters. George remarked that his experience at 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ was wonderful, that it "nourished a soul I was unaware of," and gave him "10,001 valuable metaphors."
