THE COWBOYS

On Wednesday my husband, daughter and I went to Oxnard to visit the Dallas Cowboy Training Camp. The daughter had been in touch with someone in the organization who arranged for VIP passes so a couple of her students could interview some players for the new Service Learning dept at her school this coming year.

Well, the students were not able to come at the last minute so in the afternoon the three of us plus one of DD's friends were invited to the corporate space to view the practice. (They had no corporate sponsors for the day!) Just letting you know that they couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. What was cool was to watch the employees of the organization do their job and represent the DC's.

Now I have never been a great fan of Jerry Jones, but after hearing how his employees spoke about him and specifically how much of a man of his word he is I thought I might have to reconsider. I was especially impressed with his player education program that takes troubled players under their wings and work with them for 6 weeks to help education them in all walks of life.
It was a fun afternoon and we couldn't have been treated any nicer...Thanks Bryan and Megan
