Seeing Is Believing: Kiss Is Just a Kiss

I read the “Indianapolis 500 Daily Report” by Shav Glick in which Mario Andretti discusses Andy Granatelli’s kissing him at the end of the race. “If you look at the picture real close, you can see that he is whispering something in my ear, not kissing me (after the 1969 race),” Andretti says.

Although I was not as close to Granatelli as was Andretti when I was photographing the event, I beg to differ.

It’s obvious that Andretti’s memory has faded, unlike the image captured in a black-and-white negative so many years ago.

I thought you would enjoy the photo.
