Is it wrong that all I can think of is that this guy must've gotten hell all through school on account of his last name?

Mr. Gaylord's strong social and political conservatism not only was reflected in newspaper
editorials, but in philanthropy, especially gifts to Oklahoma Christian University,
a small, Church of Christ-affiliated school in far north Oklahoma City.

As a graduate of that school a few decades ago, I'll attest that the Gaylords
did drop some serious change on the place.

I had mixed emotions about the schools close ties to the Gaylords...but at this remove
it seems to have been just about as clearly a benevolent act of
philanthropy by a wealthy businessperson to a college as there could be.

Mr. Gaylord's vast media empire has touched an awful lot of people in one way or another. From shows like "Hee-Haw" to the Glen Campbell show to radio staions like WKY in Oklahoma City to WSM in Nashville. He has done an awful lot more for the great state of Oklahoma than any other rich person

Mr. Gaylord is a lengendary person who has done a lot for Oklahoma and will be very sorely missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Thanks Mr. Gaylord for all you've done for Oklahoma and it's people.
