Horse track in the Detroit.
One of my stories-- George’s father was a cigar smoking factory worker. George would bum grade school to go to the race track with his father. Father would tell George—
if you own a race horse than you are a successful man. After completing HS, George enlisted in the USMC. On his return home, a local fabric merchant took George under his wing. He taught George the rag business. George would fly to Southeast Asia to hire women to sew beads and things onto wedding gowns. George became a millionaire. Yet he always remembered his old friends from the neighborhood. George eventually owned about 5 race horses. If one of his horses was racing, he would invite us to the track. Owners always had the best seats and the best view. George taught me how to bet on the ponies. George’s young second beautiful wife, ‘killed’ him off in her own way. To this day, I always bet on the Kentucky Derby in remembrance of a dear friend.
