To a then 4-year-old, this is what
the Indianapolis 500 is all about. Both the 1972 Olsonite Eagle and Bobby Unser
looked the part: blindingly fast car and a driver oozing with charisma. This
postcard actually is a replacement for one my mom got me, I believe, at the SuperX
Drug Store in the Lafayette Square Mall (my sister got a postcard of Mark
Donohue). Or maybe it was at a Hook’s. In any event, our dog CHEWED UP the postcard.
Probably 30 years later I found the exact same postcard at the now-closed
Mailroom on 16th Street. It is now in an album, safe from gnawing teeth.
