Everson Walls was honored as the recipient of The Landry Legend Award at the Cowboys Alumni Association luncheon today. The award was presented by Alicia Landry, wife of the late Tom Landry. "I think I finally belong," Walls said, "after giving a part of my body, they finally gave me the kind of respect that I've been looking for, for quite some time, (laughing) but I'll take it. I'll take it."

Ronald Aronoff, M.D. led Walls' surgical team and successfully retrieved one of his kidneys in a two-hour procedure. "This is the greatest moment of my life," Springs said. "I have three kids and I married a wonderful wife. This is right up there with them." Before surgery, Ron spoke to Everson's mother. "I want to thank you for having that son," he said seriously. "If you didn't have that son, I'd be in trouble."

Everson and Ron made it official at a press conference at the Stonebriar Country Club that Walls will donate a kidney to the ailing Springs, suffering from kidney failure, from the effects of diabetes. It ends a three-year wait for Springs to find a donor and it turns out to be his former teammate and already close friend. They intended for the matter to be kept secret. But Spring’s son Shawn was so excited he inadvertently spoke to a reporter about it. “We just want to get Ron well.”
