Mike's Duke Years!

Christmas 1971 "I gave Marty a sewing machine and she gave me a trophy case for my small mementoes-silver and gold footballs, rings and things that a ballplayer accumulates and likes to display in a tasteful way. She also gave me, in her usual thoughtful way, a glass painting of the chapel at Duke. It's beautiful, and so was the idea." "With that trophy case I get a chance to show off my Super Bowl ring-from the game we won. Better than that, I can display my Duke graduation ring. I can't wear either of the rings because I can't get them over my finger...I'll be glad to place that Duke class ring in a trophy case. I'm more proud of that than I am of my Super Bowl ring. I had to work a lot harder for the one from Duke"
