I did not know John Maddocks but I am writing this note because my uncle, James Bitting, was also on the 1935 GHHS state basketball championship team.  My father was Soule Tryon (Bill) Bitting and he and his two brothers, James (Jim) and George lived on Lafayette St. in GH and were raised by their maiden aunt, Julia Bitting. They all attended GHHS and spent their summers on GH's North Shore at Aunt Julia's cottage.  The cottage is still in our family and my husband and I live close to it.  My father died in 1976 and Uncle Jim died about 5 years ago.  (George died many years ago.)  I wanted to share this memory with your family.  My thoughts are with you.
