Geschiedenis
Moroni Taylor "Mac" George was a Navy veteran of World War II, and is believed to be the first Catawba to ever serve as a police officer. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he was also a star of the small-town wrestling circuit, where he competed as "Chief Yellowbird." He married his wife, Evelyn McAbbe George, in 1945, while on a 3-day pass from the Navy, and after the war they moved to York, Sc, where Mac worked at cotton mills and service stations, wrestling on the side, until he joined the City of York Police in 1964, where he served for 23 years.
