Can anyone ID this picture?
« on: April 14, 2012, 11:53:14 am »
I am guessing this pic is at least from 1963 due to the cars in the photo. I would like to know who the guy is in the pic. Is this Chuck Howley? Also, for anyone familiar with the Dallas Area at the time, where was this pic taken? Was this at the practice facility? Also take note of the Cowboys billboard in the background. Any info would appreciated.

Thanks.

I think this was shot on Central near SMU Boulevard at the 6116 N Central Expressway address where the Cowboy offices used to be located.  Not sure who the guy is.

Does anyone have a copy of the Cowboys 25th anniversary book?  I'm in Oregon and left my copy back in Texas.  Someone in the CowboysZone says the photo is in that book but he can't remember the caption.

MYSTERY SOLVED!  It's Sonny Gibbs arriving after he'd been drafted in 1963.  This picture (and a caption identifying Gibbs) is in Sullivan's 50th anniversary book about the Cowboys.

Beat me to it Fred...Sonny Gibbs is correct.  I also have a copy of the book this photo is in.
