Terrell Eugene "Gene" Simpson

Terrell Eugene (Gene) Simpson was born November 4, 1937, in Bartow County, Georgia. He attended Smithfield Grammar School and then graduated from Cass High School, after which he moved to Atlanta. He attended Georgia Tech University before enrolling in the I.B.E.W. Local 613 Apprenticeship School and graduating from their 5-year program as a Master Electrician.
