A Pouch Full of sports rings - Longhorn and Permian

[Billy Dale]

Re-post - A pouch full of rings was found in the attic at a home in Odessa.- a T-ring, Permian ring, and a 1968 SWC championship ring.
Jane Tierney contacted me via Facebook and said:
“I think these may belong to you. They were found in my parent’s house in Odessa. Please message me, and I’ll find a way to get them to you. “
Jane continues, “I also live in Austin. I found your name on the inscription on the ring in the picture. There were other rings in the bag as well.”

No Facebook emoticon could capture the moment I opened the pouch and saw the rings for the first time in 48 years. Each of the rings took me back to my “start here moment.” Rings earned when I was a troubled young man looking for the Holy Grail to reveal my destiny.
I now realize that I did find the Holy Grail in my youth. It was ingrained in my heart by great coaches who taught me, "life is best traveled with a teammate mentality, a work ethic in tow, and self-reliance as the goal." Horns Up!

The house belonged to my in-laws, but horrific things happened to both of them, with my father-in-law passing away and my mother-in-law killing someone in a car accident. My ex-wife sold the

house to the parents of the individual who found the rings in the pouch in the attic.
