I started working with Gene and John way back in the early 1980's. It was a very sad day for Gene when John went his way to his lord. She talked often of John and their times in Michigan. Now it is time for Gene to catch up with John, together again. Gene was a woman of knowledge. She knew much of the tax laws and consequences. A delight to be with in those days. I will miss our annual meetings.
