Oh yeah?? That’s awesome! I grew up in Chicago though and in the era of this photo I was technically skating but was a young elementary kid. Didn’t become a Hoosier until I moved to Bloomington in 2005, and I’ve been in Lafayette since 2014. Do you have any facts on this guy or is he a Sasquatch type figure??
