Bob, I assume that was the same Little Champ stations that were here back in those days?

Thanks, Danny, I know Tom well, we were in high school together, and he worked at the 66 station, at 46, and McClure Rd, I think, you know how memory tricks ya now and then. I did run into him and his wife, maybe 8-10 yrs ago, here in Seymour, at the Airport Cafe, didn't really get to talk long, they got there as we were leaving. Thanks for the reply, Ole Duke looks awful comfortable in that car, looks like he's "havin fun". Bob

Great shot D.O., I remeber that car, and Duke always looked at ease in a Champ Car.
