  „Starbucks. When the Dark Force managed to buy out one of the strongholds of the Light-Roast cause, Boston's Coffee Connection (whose deposed general, owner George Howell, liked to call Starbucks "Charbucks"), the light-roast guys really got nervous.“

  „the resulting cup profile having improved body. This profile received the praise of George Howell, founder of the seminal Coffee Connection in Boston and owner of Copacafe restaurant. Before we describe all the nice details of the roaster, be aware that this machine is highly influenced by the voltage of the circuit you plug it into. Yes, we are all supposed to have 110/120 v, but in reality when you measure actual voltage in your house it can be quite different.“

  „But Alfred Peet's store inspired the most new entrepreneurs, including George Howell and his influential Coffee Connection store in Harvard Square. Eventually, however, single stores turned to multiple stores, multiple stores to vast chains, and the little twelve-kilo roasters in the back room grew to batteries of two baggers in the industrial parts of town. Alfred Peet sold his namesake business long ago, George Howell is consulting and lecturing, and Freed Teller & Freed, sadly, is closing.“

Fairtrade | Publications | Fair Comment | Autumn 2000

  „The declaration – made by unanimous agreement at a public meeting of the parish council – made front page news in the local newspaper, and encouraged George Foulkes, Minister for International Development, to pay a flying visit to the town. To ensure the title was a meaningful one – bringing added benefits to producers in developing countries – the group persuaded 9 out of 10 of the town’s traders to use or sell Fairtrade products. These venues, from grocers to hairdressers, are displaying special window stickers, and local schools and churches, with the youth club and council, are now busy promoting Fairtrade. The group is keen for the idea to be imitated elsewhere, and won the backing of George Foulkes, who said that he hoped "the beacon that has started here in Garstang can spread like wildfire across the whole of the country." Campaigns have already started in the race to become the world’s second Fairtrade town.“
