It was a nice finish to a stellar career. He was a legend, and especially when you consider that when he showed up for his first training camp, he stood 6'2" and weighed only 210 pounds! A center who was smaller than their halfback, Hornung. Can you imagine the strength and toughness of that man? He was listed at 232 throughout his career, but I've read that he never weighed more than 220 whie he was in Green Bay. Dave "Hawg" Hanner (255 lb  defensive tackle) took him under his wing, and taught him how to block men his size - every trick in the book. He worked constantly with Ringo, told him "anytime you want to try a move, come and hit me, and we'll work on it.Yeah, he was a loss, but the Packers didn't miss a beat. Ken Bowman stepped in to the position and played another 10 years. That team was just stocked and stacked.</blockquote>
