Absolutely at the top of the list of one of our greatest supporters of all things UNT & Mean Green I’ve ever known.  
I have known you & your lovely late wife, Jessica, Jack, since the days you were an executive with Jimmy Dean Foods, Inc. over in Dallas. (I believe you worked with Jimmy’s brother).
SUMG & I laugh about the time we all sat in a monsoon covered by a clear  plastic sheet to watch  us play the Southern Miss Golden Eagles at old Fouts Field.  Then there was the snow game in Denton vs. Bobby Bowden’s Fla. State Seminoles. We were there! 

We’ve all had some laughs & a few disappointments along the way following the school who bestowed to us our degrees (& many good memories) but whatever the score, we still show up to sing “Glory To The Green” accompanied by the Green Brigade, don’t we Jack? 
Nevertheless•••HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA’, JACK!

My extreme thanks for the birthday wishes and compliments to all that responded and to those who thought "Well, it's good to know that the old fart is still with us."  I hope to make a few more to see how the membership in the American Conference pans out but at 92, it's mostly under God's control.  After losing my wife of 66 years two years ago, I'm ready for anything.  I'm disabled after breaking both hips but my oldest daughter and son-in-law are loyal to see that I get to every home game and if they can't my youngest daughter (in the picture shown) takes their place.  I'm so fortunate that my three (former) children take very good care of me.  At least, my handicap gets me the best seat in the house (back of Section 105).
