Here's a picture of my great grandpa and great grandma with Billy Cannon a few days after he won the Heisman.. Billy grew up across the street from them.


Anybody have any cool pictures with tiger greats?

Looks like your great grandma was trying to get more than just a picture with Billy.

Yeah, I was going to mention the resemblance to Vince Lombardi, too

For that matter, in that photo Billy Cannon bears a striking resemblance to an old actor by the name of Jack Palance.

Great picture.

Awesome picture. If you get a chance to, show that picture to Billy. He probably will remember them, especially if they lived across the street.
Odds are he may have a story about your great grandparents to tell you. That could be priceless.

That would be cool although I have no idea how to get in contact with him.
