Blog: A remembrance of George Basye
Many of my best days as a lawyer were spent driving through the Sacramento Valley and north Delta with George Basye (always in his Volvo). As George neared his retirement, he wanted to ensure that I, as the successor to a number of his clients, understood the foundations of his client relationships. George seemingly knew the history of every quarter section of land up and down the Valley. He had a deep affection not only for the landscape but, most important to George, for the individuals and families who had settled and reclaimed the land and built the agricultural economy of the region.
