My  two sons Garth and Lyle were very small when he died.  Garth was four and Lyle was two but they had to grow up with the knowledge that their father just wasn't there and when they were big enough they realised how he was accused of having died.  This happened twenty and a half years ago or lets say fifteen years ago and the climate was still such that his death did perhaps leave a bit of a slur on his name, people perhaps because of the situation the country was in people did perhaps (I don't know what they felt) but people most probably weren't as shocked by his death.  Some people  might even have thought he had it coming because George was a person who was very outspoken about his beliefs and he really was prepared to fight and to sacrifice for liberty and perhaps people felt that this is what actually happened to him.
