This
page is also dedicated as a memorial to my first cousin, Howard Shelton,
who passed away at the age of 87 on February 14, 2006. He was a member
of the 1939 Texas A&M National Championship Team, and played for A&M
in 1939 and 1940. He was a catalyst with Texas A&M in the remembrance
of the 1939 team throughout the years, including the special ring ceremony
for the team some 50+ years after they won the national championship in
1939 against Tulane, 14-13.
