Due to sealed legal adoption records in Pennsylvania, Susan was not able to find her birth parents for many years. When she first met Joan, her birth mother, Joan still had this photo of Dick. It is the first picture of her birth father Susan ever saw.
In 1969, ground was broken for Pocono Raceway, and here's Dick with two baby foxes found then. He was appointed superintendent and race director of the proposed multi-faceted complex, which would boast a 2.5-mile super speedway, a 3/4-mile oval and road courses. The raceway would be constructed in the Pennsylvania mountains. The three-cornered track, which Dick helped to design, was unique to NASCAR Winston Cup Racing. Each of the straightaways had a different length and radius.
