HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY Bob Lilly!!!

[THUMPER]

Bob Lilly, "Mr. Cowboy" is 70 years old today!


It is also our 29th wedding anniversary today, and yes, I intentionally got married on Lilly's birthday. We had a couple of dates available and when I saw that the 26th was Lilly's birthday it was a no-brainer.

Certainly a day to rejoice.

It just doesn't seem possible that the great one from Throckmorton, TX, turns 70 today.

Congrats on your 29th there Thumper! I am 19 years behind you in that department.

"Mr." Lily looks way younger. He's in really great shape, and I hope I get to last that long. ;-)

Thanks Hos and all the rest, for the well wishes.

My favorite quote about Bob Lilly:

Tom Landry said "A man like this comes along once in a generation. I don't think Bob ever was aware of how good a player he was or how valuable he was to his team."

Here's what Lilly looked like when I met him in 1963:
