Wilburn, manager for Illinois Bell Telephone company in this area, retires thf§"' month with nearly fifty years of service. Besides top telephone officials, civic leaders, and friends and associates, Wilburn was feted by five mayors and a city manager. Spokesman for the mayoral group was James Cooney of Woodstock. He said Wilburn was "retiring from the Bell System but we hope not from civic af- j j fairs." | "I remember the first time I j met George," Cooney recalled. "He already had thirty years of security behind him but had seen a lot of mayors come and go." He commented that although Wilburn headed one of the biggest businesses in Woodstock, he was "never too busy to say 'hello'." Cooney spoke in behalf of John j McCabe, mayor of Harvard, George Freund, mayor of McHen- j ry, Joseph Levesque, village pres- \ ident of McCullom Lake, Arthur j Farrell, village president of Lake- | wood, and William Day, city j manager of Woodstock. j C.
