HELLO, I AM GENE AND I HAVE CREATED SEVERAL PAGES THAT SHOW SOME OF MY SPECIAL INTERESTS.

THREE EVENTS HAD SIGNIFICANT AFFECTS ON MY LIFE. IN 1946 I ENLISTED IN THE MARINE CORPS. AFTER KOREA AND THE CHOSIN RESERVOIR, I RETURNED TO THE STATES AND IN 1957, I BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND ACCEPTED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR. SINCE THEN I HAVE TRIED TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AS THE LORD LEADS ME. ALSO IN 1957 I MARRIED MY WIFE, VERNA, WHO HAS BEEN THERE TO MAKE MY LIFE MORE COMPLETE. THESE EVENTS WERE ALL FOR THE BETTER .

IN JULY 1966 I RETIRED FROM THE U.S. MARINE CORPS. AFTER RETIRING, VERNA AND I MADE OUR HOME IN NORTHWESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN, AND ENJOY THIS VERY LOVELY AREA. THIS IS HOME TOWN TO VERNA, BUT I AM A TRANSPLANT FROM OKLAHOMA. NOW OUR FIVE CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP AND HAVE FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN, AND NOW WE HAVE TWO GREAT GRANDCHILDREN AND ANOTHER ONE EXPECTED SOON. FEEL FREE TO BROWSE AROUND, AND PERHAPS YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO YOU, TOO.
