    Do you remember this speaker?



    How many people remember the old Laurel Race Track where we had conventions back in the 60's? The air conditioning back then didn't do much good, and I can remember ROASTING from the heat.

    I remember going to Laurel in 1975 or 1976. My daughter who was 5 years old at the time loved seeing the horses in the morning before the sessions. It was at Laurel that we went to a Chinese Restaurant for the first time and where my car was broken into at the motel parking lot.
