After high school, Gene climbed telephone poles, worked for a crop duster, sailed aboard an ocean-going high school, flew on F-111's, and served as an Air Force JAG. Retiring back to Beaver Dam, Gene still does a little legal work, writes a column for LocaLeben Magazine (Stump the Beaver) and he puts clothes on a wooden beaver almost every Sunday morning.

Gene is still trying to think of a more appropriate response than the one he uttered that Sabbath morning.view less
