Way back in the spring of 1957 I was Editor of my college newspaper "The Tiger" and this man, Gene Eiswerth, became our new Business Manager. We decided to get a Coors beer together one evening, and when they checked our ID's we discovered we were born on the same day! Gene was from Salem, OR, but when we talked about birthplaces we found out that we had been born in the same hospital in Colorado Springs on the same day and year!
We of course have been fast friends since that fateful day, and have stayed in touch. After the Army, Gene spent his work career as a manager for Western Electric. He and his wife **Cathy** are now retired and live in Evergreen, CO West of Denver.
Yesterday we had lunch at the El Rancho up off Interstate 70. It was great to see both of them again.
Oh, I am five hours older than Gene. :-)
