My dad was stationed at New River, North Carolina after coming back from Vietnam, when I became a Cowboy fan (my brother played for a team called the "Cowboys" in Little League) That was 1969.

I do remember that. I also remember that they moved to Irving mid-season 1971, and that the Cowboys were undefeated at Cowboys Stadium until 1973.

I remember the QB controversy between Morton and Staubach in 1971, when Landry finally gave the QB job to Staubach.

I remember the only time I ever cried after a sporting event (even ones I played in) was when the Cowboys lost to Minnesota in the 1973 NFC championship. Mom sent me to my room because she couldn't stand me crying and screaming.

I remember staying at the New Orleans Marriott in 1976 when the Cowboys played the Saints, and the Cowboys were in the same hotel. I got autographs from players coming in before Curfew (Too Tall Jones, Mel Renfro, Hollywood Henderson, Bob Breunig, Burton Lawless, Drew Pearson, etc.)

Okay, you win. The autographs beats me pretty badly.

I did meet and have a long conversation with one of the pastors who did the Saturday church services with the team. He talked about Tom Landry as one of the nicest people he had ever met.
