Re: Gene Rader
Hello Bill,
Gene is now living with his daughter, his address and phone number are.
222 Dee Head Road
New Haven, Ky 40051
Ph. (502) 549-7650
I called him a couple of weeks ago to wish him a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
He's doing well enough, still has a sharp mind but could no longer live alone. He's been with his daughter for a couple of years or 3. A granddaughter purchased his home in O' Fallon, Mo and is living in it. He sold his hugh checker library to Roger Doll.
He had his 88th birthday this past Aug. 12th.
I have a special fondness for Gene in that he was the very first opponent I had the pleasure of playing at my first checkers tournament. It was the beginning of one of my many cherished friendships with checkers players.
If you talk to him tell him my wife and I send our best.
"Pal" Bucker
