For us Geezers, this is another remember where you were day.

Myself, as the lunar module touched the moon's surface, I was driving and listening on the radio, on my way to Rike's Department Store in Dayton Ohio. I would soon be shipping off to my freshman year at Ohio State, and was probably shopping for my college supplies and wardrobe. Times were good, I had graduated from high school, had a summer job and a little money in my pocket.

What in the world does this have to do with the Stadium?

Throughout our history there has been an ebb and flow of "Can Do" times in this country. The 60's were one of those Can Do periods. So were the 20's, as the daughter of Howard Dwight Smith has shared with me. Out of the 60's came the moon landing, out of the 20's came Ohio Stadium. In both cases, the naysayer's pooh-poohed the grand ideas. But from the space program came the technology that won the cold war and changed our lives. And of course, out of Ohio Stadium came the Buckeye history, tradition, and beautiful structure that still stands 88 years later.

The Can Do people were right then, and we need another Can Do attitude in society today.
