May God bless you and your...
Gene Gwartney you were my best mentor coach. I learned so much from you; my best friend in coaching since 1987. He taught me how to coach.(Show them you care and they will be successful Gene would tell me) It held true to form. Gene's word was his bond. We talked about alot :religion,family, and we shaired tears together when we saw "Saving Private Ryan" in Houston at a coaching clinic. Always in my heart. Jim
