That last post got me reminiscing....25 years ago.
So
here's the deal.....I flew back to Cinncitucky International. Jump seat
out of SFO in a DHL freighter, if memory serves.... Met up with Gator at the airport.
Played golf, loaded up a huge motor home and rumbled north to Indy. Race day, we had seats between turns 3-4.
Now in February of that year I had taken a Bar Exam test for California. The results generally came out at the end of May. No need to sit at home w a i t i n g ..... I headed for Indy and had a friend picking up my mail. It was
time to check in. I walked forever across the infield to find a payphone. Called my
friend in California about those bar results. The letter said that The Committee of Bar Examiners is pleased to announce that..... Passed. Lap #3 at Indy.
I do not remember much about the walk back. Smiling to much will do that to
you. Good times and we had a race to watch. The rum did flow that day. Oh yes it did.... 10 feet tall and bulletproof.
I was sworn in on June 6, 1989.
25 years...........

25 years... it all goes by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it?
Happy Anniversary!
I can attest, the smile was a mile wide and the rum did flow. I recall an incident with a million power spotlight and a helicopter that well, won't happen again.
