“Remembering Tom Landry: The Personal Collection,” honoring the life of the legendary Dallas Cowboys coach (he was with the team from 1960 to 1988), was a big hit during the State Fair, with more than 120,000 visitors. It recently re-opened at the Hall of State in Fair Park for a run through Feb. 6, and will be open both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Alicia Landry, the coach’s widow (he died in 2000), provided the items for the show. “I was extremely touched as I watched people go through the exhibit,” she says. “Most took time to look at every part of the collection, not just the Cowboy years. I wanted them to know Tommy, the man, whose deep personal faith guided his life, as well as Coach Landry.” The show, presented by the Dallas Historical Society and sponsored by Oncor, will include includes Landry’s trademark fedora, game balls and trophies, and rarely seen family photos. It covers Landry’s time as an undergrad and star of the gridiron at the University of Texas, his years as a player and coach with the New York Giants, the Cowboys years, and his retirement and legacy as a man of charm, charisma and dead-on football prowess.
