Born to George Rankin Tait (1893-1946) and Lucille Lorine Barber (1892-1989) in Beeville, Texas, George Lawrence Tait (b. 1928) attended the University of Texas at Austin from 1947 through 1951. His father, George Rankin Tait, attended St. Louis College (now St. Mary’s College) in San Antonio, before enlisting in the U. S. Army during World War I. Following the war, he married Lucille Lorine Barber in 1923, and the couple moved to Corpus Christi, where George worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company as a manager.
