My father, a graduate of the SMU Law school in 1948, passed away last week at the age of 90 (a couple of days after a stroke) He was a member of the Texas Bar for 60 years. He loved the Mustangs and started taking me to games in the late 60's. Like many of his Mustang contemporaries he saw SMU football in the 30's, the Doak era and of course Meredith, Hixson, Mustang Mania, the DP etc. He and my Mom financed my four years at SMU from 78-82. Fabulous years! Since I moved from Texas, we talked after most every game and still saw many in person together. I really enjoyed the conversation after the Bowl win!

It had been a tough year for him, as my Mom died in March. But I was able to see him several times this year with my own family. I will be taking my son to more games this year, which I am sure will help.

I don't post that much, but I lurk frequently. I appreciate the discussion throughout the year. I just wanted to salute my Dad on here for introducing me to SMU and Mustang sports all those years ago.

Beat Tech.


Thanks for sharing and prayers to you and your family. That must be extremely difficult and I hope you are able to find peace.

I know how you feel. I lost my dad 25 years ago this month and still miss him. When I go to a Nats game (especially when they were at RFK), memories flood back of the many Senators games we attended. Take care of you and your family. You'll be numb for awhile. Know that our prayers are with you.
