  2. If you would like me to post them for you, you can email them to me, however it is fairly simple, you can either host them on a free site like photobucket, or if they are not extremely large you can just attach them to your post. I will be posting more as time goes by. I fly home tuesday and will get busy then.
  3. I bought one of these about two months ago, and I have been able to scan old slides and negatives with ease. I highly recommend it. I bought it from Tiger Direct. Best $200 bucks I ever spent. Plustek OpticFilm 7200 Film Scanner The OpticFilm 7200 is a 7200 dpi film scanner capable of scanning 35 mm slides and various negatives. High optical resolution, USB 2.0 connection and fast scan speed allow Plustek's OpticFilm 7200 to easily outperform other professional film scanners.
  4. Here you go Sparky Cotton Grable I think that's Charlie Scheilds getting the flag from Cotton AJ Foyt winning at Playland Park Cotton working the starting grid in 1953 And this is yours truely in 1955 in the infield at Playland standing next to Uncle Bobby's Modified.
  5. This is Phil when he was in his early 20's, over at the old shop in Channelview Any of yall that knew Tony Barcelona will appreciate this one The one and only Tony "The Tiger" Barcelona
  6. Sue Payne, Agnes McCandless (sp?), and Aurora and Virginia Bowen.
  7. Here's one for you Sparky, I believe that to be Buddy Rackley in front, correct me if I am wrong.
  8. T-Bird is this the wreck in question? I think this is the one that there were a couple of spectator fatalities.
  9. I hope you are too Red Seriously though, Just how many complete games has he had as a starter, up until Duece Mc went down? He has started 8 games! He only started 0 games his rookie year, he was used on a limited basis while he learned the system. I think that was a coaching decision. Especially since New Orleans had Duece in his prime, they had the luxury of being able to do that. He's just getting started. Let's do a little comparison: Emmit Smith, the undisputed All Time leading rusher in the NFL: Rookie Year Year TM | GP | GS | Att | Yards | Y/A | TD | Rec | Yards | Y/R | TD 1991 DAL | 16 | 14 | 241 | 937 | 3.9 | 11 | 24 | 228 | 9.5 | 0 Emmit started 14 games and carried the ball and average of 17 times a game, that's fairly active for a rookie. Now Reggie: Rookie Year Year TM | GP | GS | Att | Yards | Y/A | TD | Rec | Yards | Y/R | TD 2006 NO | 16 | 0 | 155 | 565 | 3.6 | 6 | 88 | 742 | 8.4 | 2 Reggie has only carries the ball 275 in his entire career for a total of 1,016 yds @ an average of 3.7 yds/carry and 10 TD's. He's started a total of eight games in his short career, I am thinking he's got some rrom to grow. Just for laughs lets look at Mr. Dayne Rookie Year Year TM | GP | GS | Att | Yards | Y/A | TD | Rec | Yards | Y/R | TD 2000 NYG | 16 | 16 | 228 | 770 | 3.4 | 5 | 3 | 11 | 3.7 | 0 | Dayne started 16 games his rookie year, of course the Giants had Tiki Barber also, but I am thinking Reggie is holding his own with as little playing time as he's had. And we are not talking about the Cowboys or Giants, we are talking about a team that's only made six (6) playoff game appearances in 40 years. And a team who only had there best season ever last year, and has an over all win loss record of 251 - 363 - 5. I still think there's hope for the kid.
  10. Yeah but in 10 years Reggie is going to be one of the top ten rushers of all time and Dayne doesn't have ten years left in him. Dayne's entire career has been riddled with issues. Benched for lack of commitment, injuries, inability to break tackles, one of the biggest disappointments to the Heisman, since Ricky Williams and Archie Griffin.
  11. Resourceful...........that's a funny way of putting it. Phil Cronin was a sure enough hustler. Don't mean that in a negative way. He put his mind to it and could just about do anything. He was a real charactor, and could always make you laugh, no matter what the circumstances were. He believed in fast cars and fast living. Had his fair share of pit puppies I can tell you that for damn sure. He laid more pipe than Brown and Root. If it's the car I am thinking of it was a blue and white two tone '55 Chevy. I'd have to dig around but I may have a picture of that car after he sold it to David Rosas.
  12. Phil was born in Late '35 around Halloween or pretty close, because they use to throw a party in the pits at the track around that time, he was Class of '54 at Galena Park HS I am pretty sure, seems like that's what his class ring said anyway. Phillip Tillotta was also from Galena Park I think, and is still alive as far as I know still living in that house out in Sterling Green in Channel View.
  13. Man talk about a heartbreaker, that was a heck of a game, Robinson just got beat on that last pass play. Great 4th qtr comeback. Jeez that was a tough one to watch.
  14. Hey a win is a win, ugly or not. It still adds one to the "W" column
  15. Oops! Guess the Falcons were more than just a one dimensional offense. This was the week of upsets, five of the top ten lost yesterday, and was very nearly seven of the top ten. The bookies took a beating worse than the St. Louis Rams did.
  16. Sunday Night Football was pretty good. The other end of I-45 is looking pretty damn good......
  17. 1896 house of the Heights district Freedman's Town Lyons Ave and Jenson 1956 Lyons Ave and Jenson today Main Street 1910 Heights Blvd 1910
  18. No Bob Costas wasn't buying it either. They interviewed an orthopedic specialist and he wasn't buying it either. Earl says that's what the NFL doctors told him was wrong. But an independent orthopedist told him it was repetitive blunt force trauma to the spine. Earl just kinda shrugged it off, like he did a thousand tacklers. It was truly sad. He gave his long term life comfort for "Luv Ya Blue". George W Bush when he was the Gov down here made Earl an "Official State Hero", and a life-size bronze statue stands right along side the other six in the Hall of State, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar, James Walker Fannin, Jr., Thomas J. Rusk, and William B. Travis. One hell of an honor.
