The thing that impresses me most is that I have several friends who are former Dawg players, and when they hit rough spot in their lives, and you start to worry about em, they tell you "This ol Dawg wil be fine", and you know it. These fellers know that it's a never-ending thing, not just when you hang em up. The lessons that Tom taught them carries over to teir lives as they get along in years. I would be lying if I said that I didn't envy that.
