It's a sad evening at this household, as it is for Buckeye's everywhere, with the passing today of Dr. Gee's Son-in-Law. The loss of Dr. Alan Moore, so talented, with so much yet to give for the betterment of humanity, leaves a huge hole in all our hearts, and reminds Ohio Staters everywhere that life is so very fragile. Sometime this fall, someone near you in the 'Shoe will loudly degrade a player for a pass he drops, or a coach for a play they call. When they do, think back to this day and remind yourself what really matters.

In his speeches, President Gee loves to say, "The sun never sets on The Ohio State University." Normally that is true, but tonight is an exception and darkness has come to Buckeyes around the globe. The sun will rise Scarlet again in the morning, but tonight there will first be Gray and then the darkness.

Peace be with Gordon and Rebekah Gee.
