Welcome to Where's George?, The Great American Dollar Bill Locator. I hope you are reading this profile because you have found one or more of my bills. If you are not already a registered user, please take a minute and sign up for an account. It's free, and it's FUN!
My "official" date that I became a registered user of Where's George? is 25 Sep 2000. That is the day that I received my first Wild George. Other than logging on and giving someone else a hit, I really didn't do anything about Georging until 22 May 2002, when a friend of mine received a Wild George and gave it to me to pay a loan. Honestly, I had forgotten all about the site before that second Wild George. Now, I am entering every bill that comes my way, even making excuses to break large bills so I can get the change and have more entries!

Rochester Mike...
I am currently living in a suburb of Rochester, New York, called Brighton. To the right is an arial photo of my townhouse. I have lived there with a roommate for a little over three years, and I have no immediate plans of moving. That is, unless I can get a decent job out of state or something.
I have a degree in Computer Science, and I am an A+ Certified Computer Repair
Technician. However, I am not working in this field at the moment. Right now, I am working through a temp agency at
KODAK, assembling the components in the
Kodak Picture Maker kiosks. This is an interesting job, but it isn't really what I want to do. I'm looking for
a job in the computer repair field, but right now the economy is so bad it is difficult to find any decent jobs.
The whole situation is driving me crazy! Fortunately for me, the Rochester Psychiatric Center is about a mile down
the road, and since it is such a short trip, why drive when I can walk!

m i t c h Michael R. Mitchel was born December 24, 1952.
Mitch was a graduate of VPI with a degree in electrical engineering. His close friends remember him as being
very friendly and outgoing. He tended to be a bit of a packrat, keeping his old TV Guides in chronological
order, and a box of phone books from the last ten years. He taped his favorite TV shows and NEVER taped over
anything, always saving all the videotapes, and only labeled the tapes with a number that he then cataloged
in a series of small notebooks. He was interested in gardening, beer making, music, books of all kinds,
sci-fi, electronics, TV, Alice in Wonderland, and of course Where's George!
Mitch died as the result of a drive-by shooting on January 11, 2003. He was 50.
Rest in peace, Mitch, |

We Are Americans. We Are Survivors. We Will Never Forget. ---Rochester Mike, |
With apologies to William Shakespeare...
To highlight, or not to highlight, that is the question.Whether 'tis nobler on the bill to suffer
The stamps and highlighting of serial numbers and series,
Or to take issue against a sea of ink,
And by opposing end them? To highlight: to hit;
No more; and by a highlight to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand Natural Georges
That no hits are heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To highlight, to hit;
To hit, perchance to score: ay, there's the rub.

A Star Note is a note that has a star at the end of the serial number instead of a letter. The star after the serial number indicates that this note is a replacement note that was issued to take the place of a defective note that was discovered. Since it's too cost prohibitive to reissue the same serial number, it's easier to print up a bunch of star notes and then use them to fill the stack once the defects are pulled out.
