******************
Gene was another guy who was also with us on the football team. He was very likeable, a guy who liked to have fun. Like me, he was a small lineman, probably in the 140 pound range. Some of us small guys hung together so we could feel bigger.
Several years after high school, I went out to Hazy Hills, a small golf course near Minier, to play a round or two with my dad and my uncle. Quite unexpectedly, I ran into Gene out there. Afterwards, we shared a cold one in the clubhouse and talked over old times. We sat and talked quite a while, as we hadnΚΌt seen one another since our graduation from BHS.
I remember him as one of the real nice guys in our class.
