Another fact not mentioned is that Gene and hundreds of other soldiers were on their way to Korea to fight when suddenly it was announced aboard the ship that a truce was just signed and the Korean War was over! Of course, Gene and his fellow soldiers celebrated the fact that many lives might have been saved! As a result, Gene and his friend gathered up their fellow soldier-musicians and Gene became a talent agent booking bands all over the Far East. Turning lemons into lemonade was just another of Gene's God-given talents.
