Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Family member expresses interest!

Submarine races were fairly common back in the fifties in Manitowoc, WI where my mother grew up, not that she will admit it.  The spot they used to "watch the submarine races" was Red Arrow Park on Lake Michigan.  Oddly enough, they actually used to build the old Gato class submarines there.  It was the only place they built 'em that was considered pretty much invulnerable to attack from either Japan or Germany... being located on a narrow winding river 1000 miles from the nearest ocean.

Hello gang: I could not pass this one up. When I was younger and chasing the girls, the chasing routine was known as "The Submarine Races". Anytime anyone scored, he had "won" a submarine race. I don't know if this was unique to rural Arkansas in the late 60s and 70s only, but I have never heard it before or since. Oh well, things were simpler then. I'm going to bed-good night all and Carsten: Guten Nacht. Will surface sometime again tomorrow. Mark Steed
