i sure hope that somebody technically inclined can post a video of that ceremony i just watched - great memories of that voice beginning 50 years ago in elementary school up until just the other day.......that was quite a moment! and it wasn't even spoiled by that ***-hole's comment from the senate floor
and Dr. Keenum during the recognition. they read the biography in it's entirety from the athletic website and made a resolution to recognize Jack and also mentioned that Governor Barbour had proclaimed today Jack Cristil Day in the State of Mississippi.
**then Cristil lit a cig.

sen. jackson invited the other co-authors up there and then invited all other dawg-senators up and made a casual good-natured comment that if he opened it up to anybody else who wanted to come up there that the whole senate would probably be up there.......some ***-hole replied "i 'spect there will be some of us still out here" and he repeated it because sen. jackson didn't hear it at first, probably was surprised some idiot would say that on that day honoring that man......i just thought that was pretty tacky
that is my recollection but it pissed me off so hopefully i didn't embellish it in my recollection
