   Gene was a great and enthusiastic supporter of the reunions. He was always there to get a reunion going. He was fun loving and happy go lucky. Without Gene and Kenny Grimes the reunions might not have been as successful as they are.

    What follows is the newspaper article about the two friends that took Gene to visit the WWII Memorial. I'm sorry for the size of the newspaper article but its the only way that it will post so that it can be read. Page 1 is on the left and you can scroll to the right to see page 2.
