Gene and Dennis first met in 1972 through school chum Todd Ovokaitys, the son of Gene's wife, Dee.
In April 1971, Todd was actually on his way into the apartment building where he lived when Dennis, playing basketball at St. Charles Boys Home just down the hill, called out to Todd to join the game. At the time Todd was attending Pius High School but transferred the next semester to Juneau High with Dennis.
Gene was promoted from captain to major to general, a tremendous career serving our country.
During that time he also spent his off days running a car wash for an old buddy. Ask Gene or Dennis to tell you the car wash story about the '69 Dodge Charger R/T sometime........
Let's see what Gene has to say about Dennis O'Boyle right now:
