Boys, I grew up in Shreveport, La. One of my best friends married Bill Jordans niece. Maries real Father, was killed in WWII ( a pilot as I remember). Bills Sister was Maries Mother. Bill gave Marie away at the ceremony. I am 6'6' and not of the tiny digits myself. Bills hand wrapped half way around mine every time we shook hands I was embarassed. I have never seen, before or since, a man with hands that large.
To make matters worse from an ego standpoint, Maries Matron of Honor was married to Tony Liscio, offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys out of the University of Tulsa. I have a picture somewhere of me standing between the two of them looking like the worlds tallest midget.
A tough man but a gentlemans gentleman. I always enjoyed being around Bill Jordan.
