July 25 was the ninth anniversary of my sister, June’s, death. So, of course, she’d been on my mind more than usual the past couple of weeks.
Saturday night, July 27, Langley Speedway, our local short track, held a ceremony honoring Charlie High, an engine builder and friend of ours, who passed away last fall. Motor Man and I were included in the group of family members, friends and engine customers who gathered in Victory Lane for the presentation naming the track’s inspection building for Charlie.
A couple of days later, this photo was shared on the track’s Facebook page. Behind Motor Man and me is former racer, Phil Warren, who holds the record for seven track championships at Langley.
But what struck me most about that photo was the strong resemblance I bear to June.
This photo of June and her grandson, Ray, was taken in 2010, when she was three years older than I am now.
I guess sometimes we don’t realize how much we ‘favor’ someone until we see it in a photo.
