An evening with Gee...

Well, here I am, geed up to go attend mass done by Father Gee and a reception/book signing after. It was all taking place at Our Lady of Refuge, in the city of Long Beach, which happens to be the very same church where my son's funeral mass was held at when he was murdered over three years ago.

So Gee started the evening off by signing books...as you will see, he did a lot of this.

Some shots of the church...

Gee on the run...he wanted to get through the mass so he could get to his favorite activity...signing books.

Gee working the stage...

Ah...yes...he loves to sign them books!

Two Gees don't make a right...

He's telling the infamous White House story...

Yours truly with the Chief of the L.B.P.D., Jim McDonnell...

And the evening ends with more signing of the books...love you Gee!
