Hey y'all. Just stumbled across the HAMB site doing some research for a friend on Nero Steptoe, and came across a closed thread that had pictures of Freddie Foshay. I grew up two houses down from Freddie, in Bethel, CT. From the time I was between eight and ten years old I used to go to the races at the Danbury State Fairgrounds on Saturday night to root for my neighbor. We used to play racecar in the old wrecks he had behind his house and race our bikes around the circular drive next door. AND... his younger daughter (I want to say her name was Betty?) was the first girl I ever got a "real" kiss from. Thanks for the site and the pleasant childhood memories.
actually, Bertty Lou was my grandmother but Pat Foshay was my great aunt. I went to those Saturday night races at the RaceArena and enjoyed the heck out of it.
