Comments on Ryan was tryin’ in Indy indeed

Food,

      I don't usually follow sports teams and their rosters or rankings, anymore. When I was young, most quality time I got to spend with my father, was watching televised sports with him. At a tender age, I could identify team members of the sports pinnacles of that era. The 60's boxing greats, the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Redwings, Detroit Lions, U of M football, basketball, track and field teams, etc. and for some mysterious reason, I could also vigoriously cheer for my favorite ROLLER DERBY enforcer, the pulchritudinous "Ruthless Ruby," by name! Whenever a Michigan State team, played against an Ohio State team, my dad and I hoped that BOTH teams would lose! Since moving out of the family home, and becoming the man that I have become, my father and I lost that common interest in professional sports and drifted a few inches apart, for awhile. I came to miss those days and nights of father/son bonding, after it became mostly only a fond memory. I now miss my father, as he too, has become a fond and cherished memory. Sorta takes all the fun out of following that stuff, now.

      Reading your narration of that race, I could visualize the whole race, and came to actually be interested in a motor race, for the first time in many, many, years, a race I had not seen!. You really ought to become a sports columnist, or something like that. Marv Albert knew from an early age, that Sports commentary, was a career that he could really "sink his teeth into." Say, whatever happened to good ol' Marv, anyway? It's like the guy just suddenly dropped offa the face of the EARTH!
