George M. Foote
George Messenger Foote, Sr. (November 4, 1919 – June 21, 2010), was a 30-year city judge and civic figure in his native Alexandria, Louisiana.
==Background==
Foote was one of two sons and two daughters of Henry Dade Foote, Sr. (1882-1941), and the former Lois Jeannette Ray (1886-1974), who resided in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but moved to Alexandria prior to 1919. Lois Foote was a native of Americus in Sumter County in southwestern Georgia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lois Jeannette Ray )〕 Foote's brother, Henry, Jr. (1912-1955), was born in Hattiesburg and died in Alexandria; a sister, Ray Foote Schlaben (1914-2006), was born in Hattiesburg and lived after her marriage in Edinburg in Hidalgo County in south Texas, where she is interred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ray Foote Schlaben )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry Dade Foote )〕
The obituary of his friend, former Alexandria Mayor W. George Bowdon, Jr., indicates that Foote and Bowdon first met c. 1935, by which time Foote was a student at Bolton High School, from which he graduated in 1936, three years before Bowdon. Foote worked as a lifeguard during summers in the middle 1930s at Magnolia Park in southern Grant Parish north of Alexandria. According to copy desk editor Wallace Anthony (1936-2010) of ''The Alexandria Daily Town Talk'', the chilly waters of Hudson Creek at Magnolia Park were dammed to form a large swimming pool. A bathhouse, snack bar, and as many as thirty summer houses were subsequently added. The park had shade from pine and beech trees. The pool had concrete walls. A wooden-gated dam included a large wooden water wheel placed as it developed for aesthetic reasons. Foote is listed in the 1940 U.S. Census at the age of twenty, still single, as living in Alexandria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Foote from Alexandria, LA )〕

He attained the rank of colonel.〔 While still a captain, he was awarded the Silver Star for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity" on July 21–22, 1944, while as part of the Third Amphibian Tractor Battalion, he engaged in action against Japanese forces during the assault on enemy-held Guam in the Marianas Islands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George M.
