		Renfro, Most of the players you see today when they start to get further along in their career, usually go from cornerback to safety, due to age, loss of speed, etc. You are one of the very few who moved from safety to cornerback, what allowed you to make that change.
		Renfro: Given the sustained excellence of the Cowboy defense during your era and the long and tremendously successful careers of such defensive teammates as Lee Roy Jordan, Chuck Howley, Cliff Harris, Charlie Waters, Jethro Pugh and others, does it surprise you that only Bob Lilly and yourself are in the Hall of Fame?
		Mel Gray with the St. Louis Cardinals with his tremendous speed was one who gave you fits.
