Dayton, Ohio, Oakwood High School, Lookout Drive, the picnic house and the Indy 500. Our annual two day picnic. Dick Whipp, Sonny Kemp, Jack Austin, Dick Bigelow, Taki, Mary Bimm, Bob Morris, Dick Laemmel and a host of others dropping in. Good memories.
The race started early and ended late in those days, an all day event, and, a lot of food.
Almost seventy years ago, but still a lot of vivid memories. On my "memory" table here by my chair, among many other things, a belt buckle, on it OAKWOOD Lumberjacks. A picture of Caleb Dooley, who was in the Civil War, memorabilia from many years, and, two bottles of my Dr. Franks - Joint and Muscle Pain Relief, squirt that under my tongue every day.
I hope some old friends see this, would be nice to hear from them.
My heart is pounding, getting close to race time, the drivers were introduced. Soon, a recording of Jim Nabors singing Back Home Again in Indiana, I'll probably cry, well, I almost am now. Memories are great.
