Contemplating Life – Episode 69 – “Being There– Part 2”

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we conclude my series about my life as a race fan. I’ll read for you the magazine feature I wrote about the first time I went to the Indy 500 in May 1993. It appeared in the May 1994 issue. For our next episode, I will return to stories about my college days at IUPUI.
