One wonderful day, my photographer friend, Berle Cherney, and I were in Bill Wise's living room, setting up for a photo shoot for the Matska article. Because of the "occasion", we spent more time that day discussing Gena and his opinions about the Matskas than we spent with the cameras. I seem to remember that Gena had visited the U.S., and maybe Bill at one time, but I can't remember any details of this trip. Can anyone elaborate? Now that Gena is gone, and I did not get to meet him, I know how those feel who never got to meet Old Owleye, Bill Wise. Bill Murphy

Thanks so much for posting that picture of Gena's friends, Bill Murphy, "Eightbore", and Bill Wise, "Old Owleye". I wish Gena could have been with us that day.

Pete, a reader has requested that you post the Eightbore-Owleye picture on the "members pictures" thread. Neither of us are on there yet as far as I know. Thanks.

A Russian reader from Toronto, Canada, took the pains to translate EVERYTHING said above into Russian, and post it on the Huntclub. Thank you, Oleg!

Damn! This is really bad news. So many of my favorite people have gone on before us. I found this place at about post 500 on the original board in the 90's some time. Russ was here at about post 200. Geno was a fellow you would have been proud to share a duck blind all day long. A good guy with tremendous knowledge. God Bless you, Geno!

A few members mentioned they have a duck/goose call made by Geno. We've heard about them over the years but never saw a photo of one. Please post a photo if you're in possession of one. Thanks to all who posted the photos of Geno, great to see the man involved in his passions. Loved his red setters. I remember seeing a photo of him in his office and on the book shelf were copies of Double Gun Journal. If anyone has that photo, I'd like to see it again. Nice to see Bill Murphy's photo flushed out of hiding. Randy
