Donald Bingham was my uncle , and he gave me my first job while I was in college trying to pay my way through school. He was always so kind to me.

Great story of a great man. Skillfully and faithfully passed to us by another great man who has for many of us become a link to “how it was”. Thank you Gene.

Beautiful story. If you ever want to hear about my dad and his WWII experience let me or Kyle know.

Beautifully written article. I pray succeeding generations can learn from these examples of entrepreneurs who were successful the hard way. Because there is no easy way.

Gene Hoots himself is a sterling example of creating a successful business. Your legacy is all the grateful clients whose lives you have so wisely advised, Gene. Like mine✨
