Quoted from Mr68:Periodically over the last few years of his life, myself and others would get a phone call from Gene.
He had lost everything with the exception of his parents home that he and Georgie lived in and that house was small and run down. His calls were disguised as some type of purpose but really he wanted to talk about glory days or some fantasy scheme he had for a come back. But I could tell that his life had no direction, nothing for him to control and no one seeking his attention. He seemed desperate to be relevant again but I think he secretly knew it was over.It's all very sad and I've reflected on that as a life lesson for my own failings as a person.
I remember you telling me about one of those phone calls when I showed up to buy CV. Sad Story.
