Think about it. Roosevelt was president. Hitler ran Germany. LT saw Kennedy get shot. Pearl Harbor. The moon landing. Civil rights. The advent of television. The advent of computers. The advent of commercial air travel. The development of cars from model T types to electric cars, muscle cars,SUVs and everything in between. Countless fashion changes. The emergence of suburbs. Microwaves. Dishwashers. Three TV channels and not much else, then cable and VCRs. Black and white then color TVs. 13 different presidents.
Just with the Cowboys, he saw Landry get HIRED. Staubach as a rookie. The ice bowl. Bob Lilly throw his helmet after losing a frustrating super bowl v. Two narrow super bowl losses to Pittsburgh. All 8 super bowls. All 29 years of Landry. The first ever draft pick. The first ever win. The first Monday night game. The first Thanksgiving game. The first time instant replay was used in a broadcast.
Pretty neat.
You are correct on all of that plus the fab 50s and seeing Elvis in person twice. It's been a good run and I am still going strong.
