Really sorry to hear this about Don. We grew up just a few miles from each other, he in Mt Vernon, Texas and me in Mt Pleasant, Texas they are about 35 miles or so apart. Don played for the Mt Vernon Football team there and was all state for two years. He then went on to SMU where he was an All American and the number 1 draft choice for the first expansion team the Dallas Cowboys. I played against Don several times back in the day, he was a couple of years older than I was and I always held him in High Regard. He had this uncanny ability to throw the football about 80 yds in the air. That was a complettly unusable talent until Dallas drafted Bullet Bob Hayes the worlds fastest human. Hayes was a track man and never played a single down of football until he joined the Cowboys. He didn't seem to matter how far Don could throw the football, Hayes was always able to run under the thing.
So Long Dandy, say high to Coach Landry for me.....
RolandProtected people will never know or understand the intensity life can be lived at. To do that you must complettly and totally understand the meaning of the word "DUCK"
