My parents started going to Nazareth and Dorney Park before I was born, which I thought was weird because everybody else in Upper Black Eddy went to Flemington. After I was born, Dad was serving in the Navy, we lived in Upper Black Eddy with my grandparents. Mom started going to Flemington with friends, one Saturday in 1962 they took me along and the rest is history. Jackie McLaughlin won the first race I attended. It's ironic, Mom was saying on Christmas that somebody asked her when my brother and I started going to races, I told her. I told her that I read it in a letter she wrote to my Dad, she gave them all to me after his passing.
