(13) "Colonel George Woodbury BUNNELL lived intensely. His life right up to the days of his last illness was a continuing drive the better and the quicker to accomplish whatever his activity of the moment might be. ... he worked with an intensity of purpose that brooked no delay, shirking of responsibility, and for himself utter disregard of time clock or of social activities that might interfere. And woe betide a subordinate who loafed on the job, or who erred through incompetence or lack of diligence. He was a demanding taks-master, but an extremely fair one. Nor did he hesitate to admit his own error when he made one." He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing cards. "There was nothing he wouldn't do, no length to which he would not go, to help the man to whom he had extended the hand of friendship."
