Billy Keller and I will be at the central library branch in downtown Indy on Sunday at 2 pm to talk early @Pacers history. Could be a surprise guest or two as well. No charge, plenty of time for questions.
Mel Kenyon, at 93, is the oldest living alum of the Indy 500 but he's got more going for him than that. Greatest midget racer of all time, legit contender in Indy Car despite shoestring budget, and devoted husband. Story in this week's @IBJnews.

@Warren1184593 Dell is inaccurate. Sampson came before Olajuwon. Pacers turned down Houston’s trade offer that would’ve landed them the 3rd overall pick and Houston’s No 1 pick the following year. Also, they didn’t take Bird because owners wanted immediate help and underrated Bird.
