GEORGE R. & ANN TURNER

George Turner, the High School English teacher from 1954 to 1959, came to Aruba in August of 1954.  He had been teaching at West Point’s prep school but applied for a job with Standard Oil as he now had a wife and two children.
George and his wife Ann and the two children, Diane and George Jr. lived in Bungalow 88 when they first arrived but after a couple of months they moved to Bungalow 301 where they remained until July, 1959 when they went to Norwich University for a one year temporary appointment on its faculty.  They loved it there and George enjoyed this job and never returned to Aruba.
Ann was a professional librarian and was able to have her own career in the States, something she could not have done in Aruba.
In additional to teaching English at Lago High School George also worked as the night manager of the Esso Club.
George said: “Our years in Aruba were wonderful.”
