Relaxing in Florida




 


In November 1970, George and Pattie took a trip to Florida for a little rest and relaxation after the All Things Must Pass recording sessions.    Everytime they ran into someone that recognized them, George would ask them to keep the trip a secret until after he left    

These are the only photos that I am aware of from this trip.

  1. Isn't the photo of George and Pattie sitting on a golf cart, where George is eating a golf ball, also from this trip?

    1. When I talked to Patty Boyd at her book signing in Palm Beach she said that photo was from this trip. Post the picture if you have it, I haven't been able to find it online.

    3. A friend of the family pulled up in a station wagon with the mountain lion that day.
      I was living at the apt. complex owned by George'd uncle (Gregg Apts.). We all had a fun picnic that day.

    1. Hi Rick, I'm Jeff Fisk with the Deerfield Beach Historical Society and I first heard about George and Pattie's visit in 1971 when I was 11. I'd like to interview you if possible, I have so many questions. You can message me Jeff Fisk on Facebook. PS I talked to Patty Boyd at her book signing in Palm Beach and the Mountain Lion was owned by a friend of George's sister Louise. Could that friend have been Preston Henn?
