Picasso said his mother told him when he was a boy, "Pablo, you are going to be great. If you decide to be a soldier you will become a general. If you decide to be a priest, you will become the Pope."As Lincoln should have been a President; as Patton should have been a general; as Robert Frost should have been a poet, so too Geno is a man in the right place, doing and being the right thing at the right time.
