Geno plays Simon Says
On Geno's Birthday I'll share another story and this one always makes me smile.
We had a party at some clubhouse in Orange County back in the day. Everyone was in the pool having a great time when Geno hosts a game of Simon Says. He would have everyone doing what he says...and you know how the game goes, eliminating people who proformed the task without first hearing "Simon Says". He was so much enjoying his role as the M.C. on this evening and everyone was enjoying being in his "class". It was just another example of the positive energy and fun that Geno always brought to one of our events.
I've got a bunch of photos of the early days that I need to scan and post. I went over to see Geno not long ago and brought a huge box of my photo books from the 80's. We had a great time drinking some beer and reminising about the good 'ol days. I'm so glad I did that.
Sure miss you Geno. I hope their having a good party for you up there today.
Geno, Geno, Geno,
We have been friends for over 40 years. You will be missed. I even knew you before your name was Geno. You were Gene. We spent so many years as the collection superstars for four different banks. We were the two fake lawyers from Atchison and Allison and Allison and Atchison (fake law firms) " Mr. Customer, don't make me turn your file over to Mr. Atchison. " He is not a very nice man." We fooled them all and I was wrong. You are and were a very nice man and a great friend. Chris Allison asked that I mention Genos great capacity for adventure. He always had something new going on. He had a great smile and a hearty laugh. He was always looking for something but wasn't really sure what it was. Maybe you will find it, up there among the clouds. RIP, Buddy, the world is a sad place without you in it. Steve Allison
When I saw Geno naked!
Tina Cleveland had a party at her condo in Newport and several of us stayed over rather than drive home, one being Geno. I was sleeping on the sofa in the TV room and here comes Geno naked as a new born baby looking for the bathroom! At least that's what he said. Too funny.
