Orr was a line judge, then side judge, then field judge. Nice stories. He and Art Demmas got their start together: bit.ly/TZhoiz

Interesting article. Just a clarification: Orr started in the NFL in 1971, not in 1970 (I believe there weren't any new officials in 1970) and Demmas in the AFL in 1968. Both worked together in Super Bowls XVII and XXVIII. Gene Barth also started in 1971.
