Cowboys relic from my childhood found

[Wimbo]

I spent a few days at my mom's house over the July 4th weekend. She had saved a couple of boxes of "keep-sakes", as she calls them, from my childhood... pictures, yearbooks, letters, awards, and things that I had on my wall. One Cowboys item was in there - a pennant that I had on my wall as a boy. Picture below. I am not 100% sure of the year for the team photo, but here are the names listed:

Row 1: Efren Herrera, Danny White, Roer Staubach, Mel Renfro, Doug Dennison, Aaron Kyle, Preston Pearson, Charles Young, Benny Barnes
Row 2: Scott Laidlaw, Jim Jenson, Charlie Waters, Randy Hughes, Cliff Harris, Robert Newhouse, Mark Washington, D.D. Lewis, Jim Eidson
Row 3: Bob Breuing, Randy White, Lee Roy Jordan, Thomas Henderson, Mike Hegman, Blaine Nye, John Fitzgerald, Larry Cole, Tom Rafferty
Row 4: Burton Lawless, Pat Donovan, Herbert Scott, Rayfield Wright, Ed Jones, Ralph Neely, Jethro Pugh, Bill Gregory, Greg Schaum
Row 5: Harvey Martin, Beasley Reece, Golden Richards, Butch Johnson, Jay Saidi, Drew Pearson, Billy Joe Dupree, Asst. Trainer Ken Locker, Equip Manager Buck Buchanan
Row 6: Tom Landry, Jim Myers, Ernie Stautner, Ermal Allen, Jerry Tubbs, Dan Reeves, Mike Ditka, Gene Stallings, Ed Hughes, Trainer Don Cochren.

Oh how the years have flown by, oh how I realize how much of me is gone. The Oak Ridge Boys' Ozark Mountain Jubilee. Thanks for that nice memory.

Jay Saldi and no Tony Dorsett, I'd say 1976.

Great find! My sister just found a Tony Dorsett autographed poster in my parents garage that I got when I was a kid. Believe it or not, TD was in Dallas modeling Lee jeans and I ran into him with my grandmother at a mall in Dallas. Really cool guy. I was in shock when I met him. Couldn't believe how small he was!

Thanks for sharing.

Well Tom Landry was the Head Coach so that ought to narrow it down for you.

Got the same poster autographed in a Joslin's store in Denver. My sister worked there at the time and got it for me. Actually don't know that I ever hung it up or cared much what happened to it. He was in Lee jeans after all. :laugh2:

I'm not that dense!
My parents got it for me in the 1970's, and yes I know the era... I just cant remember off the top of my head if it was 1976, 1977... somewhere in there.

Those were the days. There were a lot of stars on that team. Of course, in those days I thought every Cowboy was a star.
