Local businessman G.B. Greene has been awarded the coveted Book of Golden Deeds for a lifetime of achievement.The well-known owner of Womack Printing Company was cited for his many works by the McMinnville Evening Exchange Club during its annual Book of Golden Deeds banquet held Tuesday night at McMinnville Country Club.“He’s always been an industrious person, working at a very early age to help his father at his shop,” said presenter Jennifer Boyd. “From assembling toys and bicycles at age 9 at the local Western Auto store to selling ladies’ hats and baby diapers at McMinnville Clothing Store.”Boyd said Greene became a businessman when he was just a teen. “At age 15 he made the tough decision to give up high school football to work with a businessman who was looking for a young interested man who could someday become a partner with him in his business.”George Boles Greene was that teen who accepted the call of Walter Womack.
