Stupid Question

[JD]

I'm sure this is old news but Joe Amato's name came up in a discussion this morning and I remember Joe ending up his career without Geri but rather a very hot, late model blonde. What ever happened to Geri Amato?

The short answer is that her and Joe divorced. No need to get into the backstory out of respect.

a very hot, late model blonde

Holy $h!t I almost fell of my chair laughing so hard.

It's not a "stupid question" at all.

Gere Amato lives in New York now, she sold the home in Old Forge a few years back. If you get lucky enough, you may run into her at one of the Vegas races from time to time. Gere is one of the nicest, most generous persons one could ever meet.

Here are a couple pics from back in the day I have scanned-

This is Gere and Joe, with my sister and I, winners circle at BIR 1988.

Photo sent to us in 1985. Corinne is my sister-She gave Joe the famous rabbits foot at BIR in 1990.

This was given to me in 1987 and hangs in my hobby room today.
