Happy Birthday, Gene East

[Original Looper 1]

Happy Birthday Gene!

For those of you that weren't racing back in the 1960's, Gene East was the "go to" guy for Quincy Welding.

Gene was a welder, machinist and also crew chief at the boat races for Quincy Welding for many years. He literally was the backbone of Quincy Welding during it's highly successful years.

The photo here was given to the QuincyLooperRacing.us web site by Charley Bradley. It is of Gene East as he was getting ready to "deck ride" in 2 man F Runabout for Wayne Walgrave.

thanks,
