It seems to be do or die for the Cowboys as they head into their much needed BYE week. The Cowboys have had quite the heart wrenching season so far, and that is putting it mildly. Week one the Cowboys suffered the loss of their star wideout in Dez Bryant. As if this wasn't devastating enough the very next week, their playmaker and heart of the offense Tony Romo went during the third quarter resulting in a broken clavicle. So there they were. Heading into week 3 with their two best offensive…

Dallas was late to build a municipal rail transport system, yet today its DART light rail system is the largest in the United States at a total system length of 85 miles. Troubled by a rocky start, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority was faced with the stubborn reluctance of voters to spend any taxpayer money on public transportation infrastructure. However, once the wheels of development started in motion, there was no chance of them stopping. Over the course of 30 years, Dallas went from…

Triumph and Tragedy Six seconds. Six seconds on a bright, sunny day in Dallas inflamed me with guilt. Six seconds and three shots shattered my family on the Kennedy detail. Those six seconds in Dallas happened because I failed to protect him. I allowed an assassin to put a bullet through the head of the most powerful man on the planet. The sounds of millions gasping at the sight of a dead president will forever be etched into my mind. November 22, 1963 is a day I will never forget. The 1960…

Huge crowds lined the streets, eager to see their charismatic young president. As the motorcade turned off Main Street and onto Delay Plaza (pause for suspense) three shots were fired. The shots rang out at around 12:30 pm. One bullet hit Governor John Connally, the other two hit John F. Kennedy in the head and neck. They rushed both to…

Once again I am sitting on the couch watching another News Report on the president, so much has happened since his speech only a few days ago. It all started November 22 in my home city of Dallas. That day I woke up early to watch a news report for the new presidential campaign John F. Kennedy was talking about starting. I got all dressed up to go see the motorcade, and put on a nice hat to cover my head from the sun. It was a fair day, may I say. I picked a nice grassy spot to watch from. I…
