Opening paragraphs.........................

George Phydias Mitchell was born in 1919 in Galveston, Texas.  His parents were first-generation immigrants from Greece.  His father could neither read nor write.  He first worked as a laborer on a railroad gang.  One day the foreman told him that his Greek name, Savvas Paraskevopoulos, was too difficult.  He named him Mike Mitchell.
