'Where's George?' money tracking Web site finds big payoff
I started "Georging" in 2002 when I found a bill at the store where I worked. When I took it home my youngest son got all excited about the stamp on it and insisted that we look it up on the website. After that there was no going back...lol... he was hooked on geography! To date we have entered more than 22,000 bills on the site and have been delighted with all the 'hits' that we have recieved - over 4,000 of them! I have to admit that it's become much more than a hobby for me. I have met so many wonderful people and formed friendships that I never would have had the opportunity for had I not been 'georging'!! A big 'THANK YOU' to Hank Eskin - it's a wonderful thing!!

We have enjoyed "Georging" as a mother-daughter activity for nearly eight years. Under the screenname "BuickMackane" we are currently ranked #4 in Louisiana. "Where's George?" is so much more than a hobby, it's a lifestyle. It has given us new insight into human nature, encouraged us to travel to many unusual destinations in search of "hits," and enabled us to make new and lasting friendships with fellow enthusiasts all over the country. Who could have imagined that so many happy and fortuitous things could have just come from stamping a dollar bill? Try it yourself and see!

WG is more than a hobby, it's a family! I have made more friends through WG than I had in my life up to the point when I joined. I also met my future husband Georging. We have been together for nearly 5 years now!
