(This is from a note Grandpa sent yesterday.)
Just finished watching HBO piece on Vince Lombardi. It reminded me when we were watching the final game of the NFL season Dec 31, 1967 at the Sandfield home on Wentwood in Dallas. The Cowboys were leading the Packers 17-14. The Packers were at the Cowboys goal line but tried twice to put it over without success. With seconds remaining on 4th down Bart Starr put the ball over on a quarterback sneak. As he did, I yelled, "Yea!" at the top of my voice. The room fell quiet; I had forgotten I was in a room of Cowboy fans and my hosts.
