He loved to talk and he loved the fact that I would pick his brain for stories and gossip. Anyway....whenever I would attend a show in NYC....I would run into Gabe and I would personally witness him interact with all the top guys and judges at the shows. Wayne Demilia, Jim Manion, The Night of Champions, The Niagra Falls Grand Prix, The Ms Olympia...etc. I have no idea if he was a gay old queen or a closet case. He didnt appear to be...but he sure telling me about random bodybuilders of the golden age. It is very random and some of the names only oldtimers will know. How true or not they are...is beyond me.
