CANTON, Ohio -- Gene Jones was shocked.
This wasn't the first evening she had sat at the kitchen table with her husband, Jerry, discussing who would introduce the Cowboys owner at his Hall of Fame induction. But it was the first time he had told anyone he had reached a decision.
Jerry wanted his wife of 54 years to do the honors.
"I was thrilled he asked me,'' Gene said. "But it was more, 'Well, I guess that's what we should do.'
"It's about our kids and Jerry. I know Jerry wants to give me lots of credit, and I appreciate that.
