Gene and I remained in touch for many years. I always loved receiving his letters and Christmas cards...all recycled a little difficult to read but always a joy to receive. Years ago when he visited me he wanted to go to a thrift store (imagine that). We were kindred souls as I always buy recycled. My daughter and i had a road trip in the fall of 2016 and spent a few days with Gene and he treated us to a wonderful dinner at his favorite dinner club. I spoke to Gene a few days before his death but we had a bad connection so the conversation was brief...sorry Gene. I missed his Christmas card last year. We all have baggage in our lives as did Gene but I loved him and am happy he is finally free!
