Hey, I know where I was. Pt is probably the only other one who might be able to recall. But here's the story to the posting of this thread.
The picture below shows my Dad holding a Chicago newspaper. The sports headline says "A.L. Stars win 3-1". On the back of the photo it says "Upper Peninsula near Marquette". Well, a little research shows the AL beat the NL in the 1939 all-star game, 3-1, on July 11, 1939. Dad is no doubt holding the paper from the next day, or July 12, 1939: seventy years ago today.
That's me in the sailor suit. So there.
