I have 3 gene memories that make me smile.

1. Him stopping and taking the time to converse with us and take photos in the tailgate lot on a friday night playoff game.
2. At one of the first coaches caravans in Rosedale he stopped at our table and when asked about NDSU playing UN_ at the Alerus.... He said..."Not on my watch".
3. Gene had a really sweet nike rain/wind breaker. on a whim I emailed him to ask where he got it. Not only did he actually respond...he got me all the information so I could get one. To this day I call it my Gene Taylor Jacket.
