Gene's printing company did quite a bit of work for us (Dreyfus)..We all en joyed doing business with him and his crew..We all used to enjoy going to lunch with Gene - we used to actually talk business now and then..Years after much of this business stopped, Gene still stayed in contact with all of us. He was the ultimate gentleman..He had very good season's tickets to the NY Yankees and would often invite one or more of us to games..One night I met him at the Stadium along with my son, Paul.. I think it was a World Series game. He couldn't have been nicer and more attentive to my son. These were good seats and close to the field. I felt so lucky to be seeing this game from his seats..There was a sharply-hit foul line drive hit right at us and the three of us did what others found funny.. We all DUCKED for cover as this screaming line drive just missed our heads..A guy behind us got the ball after it bounced off his chest..I think the next time we went to a game we brought a glove...
