    Contemplating Life – Episode 69 – “Being There– Part 2”
    Jul 12 2024
    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.

    Note: I just discovered that this episode did not get uploaded to Spotify for some reason. I probably uploaded and forgot to hit save. So I apologize for being out of sequence. I think is one of my better episodes about a very interesting character in my life – the late great Mike Gregory.
