PetroSun President Rayfield Wright to Be Inducted Into the NFL Hall of Fame
PetroSun Drilling, Incorporated (PINKSHEETS: PSUD) and its Board of Directors, is pleased to announce today that
Rayfield Wright, President of PetroSun, will be inducted into the National
Football League Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio this coming weekend.
As a member of the Dallas Cowboys, Mr. Wright participated in 166 games,
started at right tackle in six NFC championship games, played in five Super
Bowls, winning two of them (VI and XII), earned his first of four All-NFL
honors in 1971 and was voted that same year to the first of six straight
Pro Bowls. His blocking and leadership as the team's co-captain for 7 years
helped the Cowboys win 10 division titles and six conference crowns.
For his accomplishments on the field, Wright was named to the NFL's all
Decade Team of the 1970's and in 2004 he was inducted into the Dallas
Cowboys Ring of Honor.
When a knee injury forced his retirement from football in 1979, Wright
began a successful career as entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist.
Mr. Wright's passion and devotion to improving the lives of at-risk,
inner-city youth resulted in his appointment to the Juvenile Supreme Court
in Arizona. He also served as president of the NFL Alumni Chapter, "Caring
for Kids" program in the mid-nineties. Mr. Wright is a co-founder and
president of "Kids 4 Tomorrow" a non-profit organization of former
professional athletes that work with children in K-12th grade. A gifted
speaker and author, he is often called upon to share his inspirational
story with community groups, schools, churches and civic leaders.
The Athletes International Ministries awarded Mr. Wright the Hall of Faith
Award in 1997. Wright was inducted into the State of Georgia's Hall of Fame
in 1988. He was a member of the NFL All Super Bowl Team in 1990 and
received the NFL Legends Award that same year. He was also inducted into
the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.
In Mr. Wright's recently published autobiography "Wright Up Front," he
states, " Looking back through the chapters of my life, I can clearly see
that God has a master plan for my life -- just as he has orchestrated
yours. I hope this part of my life's story lifted your spirits and
delivered the gift of hope." We encourage the public to read "Wright Up
Front" to assist in understanding the value of dedication, integrity,
teamwork and faith.
