Marla Shocks on First Love's Passing

Before Shane Van Gisbergen won at Watkins Glen, Craig Morton passed away on Shane's 37th birthday and even Weller Whitley's first birthday. Craig was Marla's first love. Marla was totally shocked this afternoon when Jerry Jones called Marla on the phone about Craig, who passed away two days ago. She dated Craig after she turned 13, and eventually broke up during the dance. Marla said in 1991, "I saw Mick Tingelhoff in the same limousine with Craig, and I broke up with him after talking about his first wife." Kym was Craig's last wife.

Shane Wins For the Seventh Time

Shane Van Gisbergen won today for the seventh time, and first this year at Watkins Glen. Marla was having a mother's day party with Biddie Jordan and Sue Fitzgerald, whose husbands passed away a few months apart. Marla was wearing the Keith Whitley shirt at the time, and Shane turned 37 yesterday. The women are watching the race, and Shane did a great job.

In September 1983, Patty Michael attends the banquet for 1969 Minnesota Vikings players. Her ex-boyfriend Ron Yary is in California for a school photo shoot. Bobby Bell is a surprise guest for his college friends Carl Eller and Milt Sunde. In addition to Ron, Joe Kapp, Alan Page, Paul Krause and Wally Hilgenberg were absent.

Flashback: 1989 Flag Football

It was April 1989, two months after Tom Landry was fired, the flag football was held for the legends of the Redskins and the Cowboys. Marla and her two children, Faron, 6, and Natalee, 4, were attending the game. Faron was wearing the Tracy Leslie t-shirt, and Natalee has a flower dress. Diron Talbert had a reunion with Marla, and several Cowboys players were on hand. The video shows John Fitzgerald carrying Natalee while Marla interviewed him, and Faron was with Diron about the shirt.

Flashback: Marla's Reunion With Her Brothers 1984

In early November 1984, as Marla refuses to go to San Francisco to face off with the Bengals, her six older brothers Jim, Chuck, Johnny, Duane, Arlie and Harold were having a reunion with her in Dallas. As the Cowboys had the all star list, they had a concert. For the first and last time since the 1973 disbandment, the siblings performed three songs, "Thanks," "He Did it All For Me" with a duet with D.D. Lewis, and "Jesus is Coming Soon" with all of the Cowboys players, including Danny White, who sings the last verse. The siblings reunited again in 1986 at their hometown of Ames, Iowa, and this is the last time that the siblings went on to sing in public. Ten years later, they reunited again with a funeral of their mother Margaret.
