The year was 1973, Dad was going to a friend of his in the outskirts of Huntington,In.
He had been drinking that day, Which he loved to do most days.He brought me along with him as I was always excited to go. I must have been 6 or 7 years old. I envyed him in every way. He was Tall and Thin, But had very strong arms. I always wanted muscles like him when I grew up. I always liked the stories he would tell about his time racing stock cars at anderson speedway ( sunvalley speedway back then ). I guess that is why Im a big race fan now. Anyways after we were done visiting and on our way home, He decided to let me drive the back roads until we got out to the highway. Here I was, 6 years old and barely could see over the steering wheel even sitting on his lap. He got me situated and told me to keep the car between the lines. I couldnt reach the gas pedal so he give it the gas and I steered the car all the way to the main highway. I was so excited and was having a blast, He was too! We both were lucky that day that nobody got hurt, But the bonding and memories it created I wouldnt change for the world. I love my Dad very much and I wish I would have spent more time with him when I got older. You never know how much time you have so you can never take it for granted. RIP Dad, I Love Youl.
