Gene is a great guy! He hung out with Bob Johnson and I in the sky box at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale this year…we had a blast!

I met and photographed Gene at the Indy 500 World of Wheels and Motorama 1962 last month. What a great guy and a pleasure to work with. 42….....I was told 81 yrs. old.
Anyway, was sure glad to meet him and watch him work.
