I love going through my fathers pictures when he was a roadie back in the 70s. I think this is where I get all my travel bugs from.

Back in the day he dropped out of high school and join the horse betting world taking care of horses. He went all over the country including Florida during the winter to take care of them. I have many stories of him telling me how much fun he had and including going back stage to see The WHO on a day off in Saratoga Springs, NY.

I keep hearing stories about the new Belmont Park and it reminds me of dad when he was a teen just living in Elmont, NY trying to find a job so he hopped a fence and joined a real circus.

He was probably a groom and walker for secretariat and had no idea ❤️
