My Dad took my brother and I. My brother was 20, I was 10. When the wind hit me as we hit those doors, I froze, literally and figuratively, couldn’t walk. My brother had to pick me up and carry me to the car. We just joked about this last week leaving Chili Bowl when I asked if he could carry me to the car. 😂
