He should've hid it in the Basin and wrote a book. Could've been the Cajun version of Forrest Finn's treasure.

How special to have one of those rings. You belong to a very exclusive club. Glad you posted.

Have three of his books. Amazing basin photos and stories. Sad he is gone.

My father played on the White Team on the 58 team and I have his NC ring. So plain compared to the rings these days. I have it until I pass and then will pass it on to my nephews. I would never ever get rid of it.

I love how they felt the need to add the "0" in the tie column to the ring. How football has changed.

I have a few of his books and other things. He had an amazing collection of sinker cypress that he’d salvaged from the Basin. I wish I’d bought some from him.

A great heirloom to pass down.
