My father won a box of candy bars each week which he split with the race operator.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134093236232103988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-79745478435382886672019-09-15T19:39:40.528-05:002019-09-15T19:39:40.528-05:00As a young teen in the mid 60's, I used to sho...As a young teen in the mid 60's, I used to shoot the 22 rifles at targets in Riverview.
